A Few Basic Field Trip Guidelines:
• Cell phones should be on silent or vibrate
mode.
• Keep voices low while birding to minimize
disturbance of the birds and allow others in
the group to hear the birds and learn their
songs.
• Keep pace with the trip leader. Please do not
jump ahead or fall behind.
• Bring your binoculars.
• Beginners and experienced birders all welcome!
• Have fun!
