Bird Walks with Los Angeles Audubon

AudubonFilmFridaysgirlswithbinsJoin experienced bird walk leaders who will help you explore the varied habitat in and around the greater Los Angeles Area.  Enjoy woodland nature areas, parklands and lakes, natural coastal scrub habitat and saltwater marshes. Binoculars are provided on many of the walks.

Bird walks are geared for the beginner/intermediate birders looking for an introduction to local birds and/or interested in reducing their carbon footprint by birding relatively close to home.  LAAS bird walks and field trips delve into identification, natural histories and interactions observed in the field.  All are welcome on either event, but no pets or small children, please.  Appropriate for young bird watchers age 6 years and older.  Carpooling is encouraged.  Binoculars are provided on some walks as noted below.  For further birdwalk information contact Eleanor Osgood at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or call (310) 839-5420.  Bird walks DO NOT require advance sign-up, just show up at the specified meeting time and place.
