Evening Bird Walk at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens
About this Event
Join DC Bird Alliance for an evening bird walk at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, one of the District's most remarkable wildlife destinations.
As the day begins to wind down, we'll explore the gardens' wetlands, ponds, and trails in search of the birds that call this unique landscape home.
Along the way, we'll discuss the importance of wetlands, migration, habitat conservation, and the many species that depend on this extraordinary urban oasis.
