Event Overview
Welcome, all early birds! Join us for morning birding in the Teanaway Community Forest. Park and check in by 8AM at Indian Creek where we’ll have a round of introductions and give you some context for birding in a community forest. Our guides Scott Downes (Department of Fish and Wildlife) and Deb Essman (Field and Stream) will lead a walk along Indian Creek and can answer questions about bird ID as well as habitat and the work happening in the forest. They’ll have you back to your car by 11. We encourage you to bring comfortable walking shoes, water (or a coffee thermos), binoculars, and your TCF bird checklist—we can provide those if you don’t have one already. Registration is free, but limited to 12 people, and those of all ages—so long as they feel comfortable walking for several hours—are encouraged to join us. You will need a Discover Pass for parking. Bathrooms: Nearest facilities are at 29 Pines. REGISTER
