Peter Thompson coordinates our twice monthly bird walks which usually take place on the 2nd and 4th Friday of each month.
Contact Peter at by e-mail for additional information. If you are interested in volunteering to lead one or more of these walks, contact Peter, because he LOVES volunteers to lead BONUS walks to new and/or unusual areas.
Also be sure to check out our monthly Field Trips.
We are saddened to once again have to cancel our Friday bird walks in January due to the new strain of COVID-19 Omicron. We have watched the soaring number of cases reported and feel that at this time it will be best to assess our outings month by month. That being said, January bird walks and field trips have been canceled. Check back later for our assessment for February.
As we resume our activities, to ensure the safety of our leaders and participants, the following protocols have been adopted until further notice:
- All participants are mandated to have been vaccinated to attend a field trip.
- Decision to wear masks on field trips will be up to the discretion of the trip leader
- Maintain social distancing.
- If you are sick, or feel unwell, do not attend.
