More Than Just Bird Watching
While the focus of this tour is the abundant birdlife of the Lafayette River, don’t be surprised if you find yourself in the company of other wildlife. The river is home to a diverse ecosystem, including playful dolphins and curious otters, which you may spot during your adventure. It’s a reminder of the vibrant life that has returned to our waterways thanks to the conservation efforts of groups like our neighbor and partner, the Elizabeth River Project.
