Prefer Watching Birds through a Virtual Lens?

Attend Audubon‘s Baltimore Birding Weekend virtually! Too far away? Differently abled? Reluctant to join in-person events? 2020 is a unique year, and we are piloting a new way to watch birds! Instead of a 3-hour hike, join us for a 1-hour virtual experience, available in selected locations. You will accompany the group on their tour to see what they see, plus have exclusive access to viewing birds through the guide’s scope (due to COVID-19, we are not sharing optics so the high powered scope views are reserved for our virtual participants). Discover birds through this unique lens while supporting Patterson Park Audubon Center!

Our virtual field trips are $10 per trip. A few days prior to the event, you will be emailed Zoom login information to join the online experience live during Oct. 2-4!
