Description

Join DC Audubon for a bird walk at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens. The marsh, ponds, and woodlands provide year-round habitat for many species. Join us for our first bird walk of 2022! We will meet at the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens parking lot at 8AM for a two hour bird walk. With its mix of habitats, Kenilworth is a great spot to see everything from Great Blue Herons to migrating warblers! We will have a limited number of binoculars to loan out if needed. As always, please take your normal precautions for a walk in the outdoors, bringing sunscreen/hat, water, and comfortable shoes you won't mind getting muddy. We are a small volunteer-led organization, so unfortunately we will be unable to do any formal COVID or vaccine screening. Since we will be outside, assume many participants will not be wearing masks. We ask you to stay home if you are sick or know you have been exposed to COVID in the last five days. We promise there will be more walks, and ask you not to get our volunteers or members sick by taking an unnecessary risk. In addition to various bus stops, the Deanwood Metro Station on the Orange Line is closest to the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens entrance, about a 0.7 mile walk. Take the Polk Street exit from the station and then follow Polk street to the pedestrian overpass over 295. At the bottom of the overpass take a left onto Douglas St NE. Go down Douglas street until it intersects with Anacostia Ave NE and take a right. The park entrance will be on your left. Please use caution or travel with others when visiting a new location!
