We had a blast at the Baltimore Birding Weekend! Many thanks to our guides, participants, and sponsors, who contributed to the success of this annual fundraiser to support community conservation in Baltimore. Though Patterson Park Audubon Center is part of National Audubon Society, we must raise all funds locally to support conservation and education programs. Many thanks again to all!

We had a sell-out event again this year with tons of birds and perfect weather. We saw a stunning 138 bird species across the city of Baltimore over three days, a remarkable diversity during fall migration. Sites included a variety of habitats such as Green Mount Cemetery, Hart-Miller Island, Cox Creek wetlands, the Patapsco River, the Maryland Zoo’s boat lake, and city parks such as Patterson Park, Herring Run Park, and Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park. Thank you to our guides for their expertise in leading tours by land and by water!
