Kids' Bird Walk.  Saturday, April 6th, 8:30 am, Oakton Community Park, 2841 Hunter Mill Road. Join expert local birdwatcher Nick Newberry for a walk through the park while identifying our bird friends by sight and sound. After a walk of about an hour, we’ll enjoy breakfast treats. This event is at no cost but is limited to 15 kids, so reservations are required. There is no minimum age (you know your kids better than we do), but parents must stay onsite during the event. If you have binoculars, please bring them.  Sign up here.
