Birdathon Fundraiser Field Trip: Birding & Beyond–Gear and Gadgets with Karen Howe

Birdathon Fundraiser Field Trip: Birding & Beyond: Gear and Gadgets, Apr. 13, 9am – 11am

Team: Bird Nerds

$25 (minimum) donation

Join us for a special field trip to support the Birdathon fundraiser! This outing is perfect for those who want to contribute to Birdathon but don’t have a team of their own. Enjoy a fun and educational birding experience, all while supporting bird conservation.

We’ll have a relaxed morning of birding at Fort Lowell Park. Explore the pond, fields, and pecan grove as we look for spring courtship and nesting activity. Expect to see Vermilion Flycatchers in pairs and perhaps even a nesting hummingbird or two! After birding, we’ll have a “Gear and Gadgets Show & Tell”—a chance to share and discuss our favorite birding tools. Bring your binoculars, spotting scopes, cameras, or any other birding tech you love (I’ll bring my wildlife camera). We can also share phone-based tools for identification and tracking. Meeting location will be in the parking area off Craycroft Road, near the pond. Limited to 12 participants.

Trip difficulty: Easy (up to 1.5 miles on pavement and paths). Be sure to bring water and sun protection.

All registration fees will go directly to the Birdathon fundraiser, helping protect habitats and support critical bird conservation efforts. Let’s come together to celebrate birds and make a difference!
