Field Trips

georgia Audubon Field Trips

Georgia Audubon field trips are a great way to learn more about Georgia's resident and migrating birds. They are also a great way to meet other people who share your interest in birds and the outdoors. Beginning birders are welcome on our trips. If you need to borrow a pair of binoculars, please contact the field trip leader in advance and he/she should be able to loan you a pair. Unless otherwise noted, our field trips are free and open to the public.  Come learn about Georgia's birds from Georgia Audubon's awesome field trip leaders.
 
​Field trips are listed in chronological order. Please click on the field trip you are interested in for details.

Registration Note: Due to the popularity of our free field trips, registration for field trips will open two months prior to the trip date. If you register for a Georgia Audubon Field trip and are unable to attend, please email Kiana Leveritte to cancel as soon as possible so that we may admit someone off the waiting list. 

Note: If you have trouble loading the calendar below, click this link: Field Trip Calendar
Please note: Some sites, such as state and national parks, require entry/parking fees. If registration is required, this will be specified in the details. You can find details and driving directions by clicking on the calendar entry below or by scrolling down below the calendar to the description.
 
On occasion, field trips may have to be cancelled (bad weather, etc.) or important details may change (for example, the original meeting spot for a site may have to be changed if there is a trail closure or parking problem). ALWAYS check this site the night a scheduled field trip for updates.
 
LIABILITY NOTICE: By signing up for a trip or attending a field trip sponsored by Georgia Audubon, I acknowledge that these activities can be hazardous and that I could be injured. I agree that I am voluntarily participating in these activities and assume any risk of physical injury or damage to my property.

If you would like to lead a field trip, contribute ideas for places to go, or give feedback about leaders, trips, or the field trip directions, please

New Georgia Audubon Safety protocols and Codes of Conduct for Field Trip Leaders and Participants

INCIDENT REPORTING
