Birding is best during spring migration from April to June when the greatest diversity of species (particularly warblers) occurs. Winter brings massive movements of blackbirds and robins to the swamp. Two southern species, the Swainson's warbler and Wayne's warbler (a race of the Black-throated Green warbler), are more common in the Great Dismal Swamp thl, pileated woodpecker, and prothonotary warbler.

White-tailed deer are common throughout the refuge and, although rarely observed, black bear and bobcat inhabit the area. Last updated: April 12, 2010
