Bird Walks
Let’s look and listen for wild birds! Our informal bird walks are open to everyone, from veteran birders to those venturing out for the first time. Most trips are led by an experienced birder.
- All members and guests MUST register to attend a bird walk. Members who have paid their annual dues will be given preference for all field trips.
- If plans change and you can’t attend, please cancel your reservation so someone else can fill the spot.
- Anyone under age 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Except for service dogs, pets are NOT permitted.
- Bring your own water, hat, sunscreen, binoculars, and field guide or birding app.
- Every participant must have a liability waiver on file so you are eligible to attend this and future field trips. A copy of the waiver will be available when you attend your first bird walk.
- We limit the number of attendees on our field trips to provide a quality experience for everyone. Members who have paid their annual dues will be given preference. We welcome non-members for their first walk without requiring membership. If you wish to go on walks after that, we respectfully ask that you register as a member. The $20 membership fee covers the individual and family members living in their household.
