Our Beginning Birding field trips are held on the second Sunday of each month. They begin at 9:00 AM at the west side of the Social Hall (main lodge, located HERE). You may park anywhere on the Conference Grounds (no need for a permit) and there are two handicapped parking spots at the Social Hall meeting location. This trip will introduce participants to the birds of Asilomar, tips and tricks to identify them, and guidance on how to locate and observe birds no matter where you are! We'll travel along an even, paved fully accessible pathways with places to stop and sit as well. The field trip will end a little before noon, back at the Social Hall. RSVP required!
