Birders and bird watchers at all levels of experience, whether members or nonmembers, are welcome at all of our activities. It is recommended that you RSVP for every trip you plan to attend, unless otherwise noted. Scheduled field trips may be cancelled due to weather or for other reasons, at the discretion of the field trip leader. Notice of last minute changes will be posted, if possible, on this page. Be sure to dress for the weather and conditions. A hat and sturdy shoes or boots are recommended. Bring binoculars and drinking water and be prepared with insect repellent and sun block. If you don't have binoculars, call ahead, as we can probably bring a spare pair for you to use. Come join us! We love sharing our local birds with new folks (or old friends).
