Here are some tips to help make your spring birding adventure safe, fun and comfortable:

  • No refunds issued after May 7, 2021.
  • Food and drink are not included in the cost for trips and tally rallies.
  • Trips will go rain or shine.
  • If a trip is canceled due to dangerous conditions, a full refund will be provided. Please check your email prior to the trip departure to determine if trip has been canceled.
  • If you’re on or near the water, bring a coat! Wear appropriate clothing and shoes for weather which can be much cooler on the river and near the bay. It may be warm on the dock, but our river and bay waters are still chilly.
  • Bugs are a part of our natural environment. You can expect and prepare for flies, mosquitoes and ticks during some field trips. Be sure to bring insect repellent. For information about preventing tickborne diseases, please click here.
  • Carry sunscreen, sunglasses and/or a hat to protect yourself from the sun.
  • Bring rain gear as all events are rain or shine. We only cancel trips due to dangerous weather, such as lightning or strong winds.
  • Try to arrive a little before the scheduled trip departs.
  • Most trips are not appropriate for young children. Please use your discretion when registering.
  • Be courteous to your fellow birders. Speak quietly and turn off cell phones during trips.
  • Restroom facilities may not be available on some trips.
  • All reservations will be confirmed via email.
