Join me for a 1.3-miled paved trail walk on The Great Marsh Trail to see the tundra swans who winter in Elizabeth Hartwell National Wildlife Refuge, making the annual migration from their Arctic breeding grounds. If you've read Santa Overboard, you know how majestic these birds are. Go inside the pages and experience the romance and beauty of these creatures with Katie, Deke, and me in the Great Marsh of Mason Neck.

Private event for the Women's Auxiliary. Some seats may be available for the general public. Please contact me to be added to the waitlist.
