Anything underlined on this page is linked, please click on the link...
Meet at the overflow lot between 7:45am & 8:00am. If a location or time is changed, or there is an impromptu walk, members will receive an email. Always bring water, hat, binoculars, snacks, and wear sturdy shoes. We have binoculars to loan if you do not yet have a pair.
Some of our bird walks are in a county park where there is a $3.00 parking fee. A free lifetime Senior/Disabled parking pass is available for SD county residents over the age of 62. The pass can be obtained at any parks Ranger's office, Guajome Park is the closest. A pass may also be obtained by calling the parks office at 877-565-3600 to arrange having one mailed to you. For those riding with others, we suggest a contribution for gas to cover the driver's expense.
​
At most walk locations we have lunch at nearby restaurants.
