Summary

The purpose of these strolls is to foster a community of individuals who enjoy the combination of bird watching and bird photography. Ideally, we can all improve our bird photography skills by learning from and teaching each other.

Description

This event was rescheduled to May 9 after we learned about a marathon scheduled for May 16 that will cause the closure of the parking lot and some nearby roadways at Torrey Pines. Because not everyone interested in attending has registered, we ask that you share this information if you know anyone who is planning to attend this event.


Join Torrey Pines Conservancy, the San Diego Bird Alliance, and Torrey Pines Docent Society for a morning walk with bird watching and photography on May 16, 7am-9am. Experience a variety of birds such as Towhees, Red-tailed Hawks, Wrentits, Scrub Jays, Gnatcatchers, Hummingbirds, Peregrine Falcons and maybe more in their natural habitats! Wear sturdy shoes and sunscreen, dress in layers, bring water, and carry binoculars if you have them.
