Upcoming Field Trips

DC Audubon field trips are free and open to all. Beginning birders and non-members are welcome to attend. Some trips depart from a carpool location at Eastern Market; others meet at the field trip destination. Check each trip announcement for details.

Trip Guidelines:

• Always RSVP with the trip leader.
• Notify the field trip leader if you must cancel.
• Bring your own binoculars. For waterfowl or shorebird trips a spotting scope is helpful.
• Prepare appropriately for the weather: sunscreen and insect repellent in summer; warm layers in winter.
• Bring food, drink, and any medication you might need.
• Carpooling is encouraged to reduce emissions and provide transportation for carless participants.
• Most trips are not suitable for young children.
• Pets are not permitted on our trips. Studies have shown that even leashed pets intimidate birds and thus reduce enjoyment for other participants.
• Follow the Code of Birding Ethics

DC Audubon has a goal of seeing 200 bird species during its annual fieldtrips. To receive field trip announcements and updates, sign up for our email list.
