Monthly field trips are free and open to the public.
Unless it is stated otherwise, the field trips will generally end sometime between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM, depending on interest and success in finding birds.
Field trips will almost always involve at least some hiking, usually away from hardened surfaces and often in less-than-ideal conditions. Please come prepared with appropriate dress and footwear. It is very highly recommended that all participants have their own pair of binoculars.
