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.
 
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 email Kiana Leveritte. 
  • If you have field trip questions, please email Kiana Leveritte, Community Engagement Coordinator.

We have adopted the American Birding Association's Principles of Birding Ethics. We encourage our members to follow these guidelines on our field trips and elsewhere. Please see the ABA's Code of Ethics website to familiarize yourself with this code. 
 
Field trips are listed in chronological order. Please click on the field trip you are interested in for details.

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

​To ensure the safety of all field trip participants and field trip leaders, we hold our volunteers accountable to the Georgia Audubon Volunteer Code of Conduct, and program attendees accountable to the Program Participant Code of Conduct. For instructions on incident reporting, please visit the Participant Safety page.

​
INCIDENT REPORTING

​If you feel that the  standards for participant or trip leader behavior have been violated (or are unsure if a violation has occurred),  please report the incident to a Georgia Audubon event leader. If you are not comfortable speaking with an event leader, please email Dottie Head, Communications Director, immediately, or within 24 hrs. of the occurrence. If you or another event participant feels or have felt unsafe during a Georgia Audubon field trip, or have an inappropriate or unsafe encounter with a Georgia Audubon staff member or Field Trip Leader/Program Volunteer, please contact us immediately.
