Bird Walk / Field Trip Etiquette

Suggestions for how to be a considerate birder on a walk or trip:

  • Stay Together: Stay with the group to maximize your chances of seeing birds. Do not get ahead of the leader.  One way to stay together: Don’t Be the Last in Line
  • Scope Etiquette: “After you’ve had a good look, move two big steps to the side to allow the next person access.”
  • Quiet Observation: “While some quiet conversation is fine, please keep noise levels down. Loud talking is annoying and can scare away birds.” As you talk, you may tend to fall behind.
  • Practice Describing locations clearly. One method is to visualize a tree or shrub.  Imagine the center of it as the middle of the clock. You might say “the bird is at 2pm, 6” from the outer edge”
  • Don’t be shy: If you see something which has not been seen, speak up. The trip leader will not always see every bird around.
  • Have Fun, and Enjoy being in Nature with the birds and other participants!
