Winter is a great time to see wildlife when the views through the forest open up and the snow turns the landscape into a blank canvas. Check out these events and places for enjoying wildlife this winter.
1. Winter Wildlife Festival: This is a great weekend event at the Princess Anne Recreation Center in Virginia Beach. The festival is filled with awesome trips and workshops, where you can see winter wildlife and learn where and what type of wildlife to look for this time of year in Virginia.
2. Winter Wildlife Boat Trip at Virginia Beach: This two hour trip with Virginia Aquarium educators takes you off the coast of Virginia Beach where you may see humpback and fin whales or large sea birds like brown pelicans or cormorants.
3. Woodpecker Ridge Nature Center: Located in Botetourt, this place offers trails that wind you through various ecosystems such as hardwood forests, fields, spruce and cedar stands, and pond habitat, where you are sure to see a wealth of wildlife.
4. James River Park System: Located in the heart of Richmond, this park offers 550 acres and miles of trails for you to search for wildlife. Bufflehead ducks enjoy hanging out in the river this time of year. Keep your eyes open for deer and fox.
5. Your own backyard!: If you provide food, shelter, and water for wildlife in your yard, then you can view wildlife from your windows as you stay nice and warm inside.
