October Bird Walk + Annual Meeting

Did you know Battery Kemble was part of the Civil War Defenses of Washington! Join us for a bird walk at this National Park followed by the chapter's Annual Meeting to elect officers and to talk about continuing to build community around birds. The chapter will have light snacks available for the meeting after the walk.

Know before you go ... please review the info below for more details about this event.

See you outside!

REGISTRATION:

• We want as many bird lovers as possible to be able to enjoy our bird walks. So we've created FIRST TIME EVER tickets for those who've never been on a bird walk. Please don't reserve using these spaces unless it's your first bird walk, ever. Evah evah. Thanks!
• Please register each person seperately. If you are registering more than one person, please include the name, otherwise it looks duplicated on our end and one gets deleted.
• Please do not bring unregistered guests. It is unfair to your fellow birders on the waitlist and unfair to our volunteer guides.
• If you are on the Waitlist and have not received an email that a space has opened up, unfortunately we're at capacity and can't add more to our flock for this walk.

CANCELLATION: The walk will proceed in rain (best time to bird!), but will be cancelled in the event of heavy downpours or thunderstorm; cancellation will be emailed at least 2 hours before meeting time. So please check before you head out.
