Wasatch Audubon Wednesday bird walks
Breakfast spot and walk location change each week · Free
Local birders meet at a diner for breakfast at 7, then head to a nearby pond or nature park for a guided walk at 8. Beginners are especially welcome. The club says it loves new birders and is happy to teach, and coming just for the walk is fine. Bring binoculars if you have them, but you don't need them. Each week's meeting place is in the club's calendar and newsletter, and you can call that week's trip leader, listed there, if you need help finding the group.
