Incident on the Lake On Saturday afternoon, November 28th, an injured Blue Heron was noticed by a home off of Clearwater Ct.

Unfortunately, upon examining the bird it was discovered that the bird suffered a bullet wound through the wing and had to be euthanized. If you, or anyone you know has information about this incident, please contact the MPOA office (703) 670-6187 or email info@montclairva.com. All information can remain anonymous. We are working with local & state authorities from Prince William County Police Department and VA Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.
