"Be as free as a bird as you look for new feathered friends. Explore our parks with your family looking for birds, as well as other creatures in the woods, fields, wetlands, and on themed hikes. Learn from a naturalist and brush up on your bird identification skills. Sign up for this great activity to de-stress, to connect with others, and to get outside in nature.
Join Naturalists for a trip to Western Maryland to see a variety of specialty breeding birds that only occur in high elevations at this latitude. This includes various warblers, the rare and declining Henslow's Sparrow, Bobolink, Red Crossbill, and Ruffed Grouse. We will meet at Patuxent River Park at 6am and board our mini-bus for the drive to Western Maryland. Drop off will be at 6pm. Please bring a lunch and dress for the weather.
