Come birding with us!   Everyone welcome.  You need not be a member! Our trips are led by expert birders.  We go to local hotspots to make the most of bird migration.  And, we monitor birds at our favorite county park on a routine basis.  Learning from others helps sharpen skills, connect with others and have fun!

When? Frequency of our weekend trips varies seasonally.  During spring and fall migration we offer trips/events twice per month. 

During  peak spring warbler migration we offer weekday Warbler Walks.  So many birds, so little time!
