Tundra Swans are known for their striking white plumage and long, graceful necks, making them a favorite among birdwatchers. Each year, these incredible birds undertake a remarkable migration from their Arctic tundra breeding grounds to warmer winter habitats. Along the way, they face numerous challenges, including harsh weather and the need to find suitable feeding areas. During your visit, you’ll learn about their impressive strength and stamina as they fly thousands of miles to return to the tundra they call home.

Meet rangers stationed at the observation deck at the Woodmarsh Trail within the Elizabeth Hartwell Mason Neck National Wildlife Refuge. The Woodmarsh Trail Observation platform is approximately 1 mile from the parking lot. The trail is unpaved with slight elevation changes. The trail offers a longer loop to the observation platform if you like. Please stay tuned to the website for any weather-related changes to the program.
