“Hello-to-Spring” Birding Walk w/ “I’m Birding Right Now” (Teresa & Miles TufflIi)

Join Teresa & Miles Tuffli (I’m Birding Right Now) for a guided birding walk on March 15, 2024 (Friday) @ 4:00 PM – 6:30 PM along West County Regional Trail in Forestville, California.

No binoculars? No problem! We can provide quality binoculars courtesy of Vortex Optics if you’d like to borrow a pair. Beginners are encouraged — we want to help you get out and appreciate the bird world. Don’t be shy if you’ve never birded before — that’s what we’re here for! (All experience levels are welcome though.)

Let’s get outdoors and say hello to the approach of Springtime! Spring brings an increase in noticeable bird activity as many birds begin to sing and pair up for their breeding cycle… let’s explore who we might find!

We’ll slowly meander up to 2-3 miles along the flat and paved trail as evening approaches. We’ll look at, listen to, and identify a variety of songbirds, woodpeckers, raptors, and anything else that pops up. As we walk and stop frequently to enjoy the birds we encounter, we’ll discuss a variety of topics, such as: techniques for locating birds, what sorts of details to notice when observing a bird, species identification, bird vocalizations, and bird behavior and habitats.

We guarantee you’ll leave with an increased appreciation of the bird life that surrounds us!

Cost: $25/person. (10% of your payment goes back to Sonoma County Regional Parks.) However, we don’t want anyone to miss out on the joy of birding due to disposable income concerns, so please contact us directly (imbirdingrightnow@gmail.com) if the cost is an issue for you.
