Trip Guidelines
• If you are looking for a particular species let the leader
and others know.
• Prepare for the occasion, such as proper clothing for the season,
sunscreen, protection against ticks, etc.
• Bring binoculars and a field guide.
• Bring lunch and beverage if it is an all day trip.
• The club encourages carpooling. Be prepared to share expenses.
• Persons who smoke are asked to respect the wishes of nonsmokers
in carpooling and other group activities.

groups see more birds and members who walk ahead of the group flush
the birds before others can see them.

while birding.
• Children are welcome on club trips, but they must be accompanied
by a parent or guardian who is responsible for their behavior and well
