November 2020 Urban Birding Adventure 

Our Providence Urban Birding Adventures are back! Please be sure to sign up, since we need to limit participants to conform to COVID-19 guidelines and to keep us all safe while we enjoy our bird walks. 

Join naturalists from the Audubon Society of Rhode Island and the Providence Parks Urban Wildlife Refuge Partnership for a free GUIDED BIRD WALK at Roger Williams Park in Providence on Friday, November 20, 9-10am.  Registration is limited to 12 attendees so please register early so as not to miss out! We will send the exact meeting spot out to all those who register.

To participate, you must wear a mask for the entirety of the program, and be aware of how we are spread out when looking for birds; we need to follow physical distancing guidelines. Our bird walk locations and routes have been carefully considered and chosen to allow the maximum amount of space while still enjoying the variety of birds in the water and along the forest edges in this popular Providence green space. 

We encourage you to bring your own equipment - binoculars and field guides – so that we can limit sharing among participants. We will bring extra hand sanitizer for you to use if needed. Dress for the weather and wear sturdy walking shoes.  

These birding adventures began in 2018 as part of the Urban Bird Treaty Program, and last year in 2019, Providence was designated a Bird Treaty City.
