Beginner Birder Hike

Are you interested in learning how to get into birding, but don’t know where to start? Do you just want to watch birds without feeling the pressure of knowing exactly what you are looking at? Join a ranger at the Rock Creek Park Nature Center for a beginner birder program! This program will go over the basics of birding before taking an easy hike to practice your new skills. All ages and birding backgrounds are welcomed to participate. It is encouraged to bring your own binoculars for better viewing of birds, as the Nature Center has a limited supply for you to borrow.   

The hike is approximately 1 mile and will be on a mix of dirt and asphalt trails. Terrain can be uneven or slippery depending on weather from previous days. Wear appropriate clothing, comfortable hiking shoes, and bring water.
