The Talbot Bird Club welcomes your participation, even if you can join for only part of the bird watching outing. If you can only join us for a couple of hours, we don’t mind if you need to leave early. If you want to leave early, you are welcome to drive separately or carpool with others who may also be leaving early.
Or if you want to join the group sometime other than the departure time, please contact the trip leader to arrange a time and place to meet the club during the trip. Note: Individuals are responsible for bringing lunch, drinks, snacks, sunscreen, bug spray, and all other personal items.
