Go Birding
Bird is a verb.
Birding is more than a hobby—it’s a way to slow down, look closer, and rediscover the wonder waiting just outside your door. From city sidewalks to forest trails, birds connect us to nature anywhere and everywhere.
Come explore with us and discover your own favorite way to experience the joy of birds.
Neighborhood Bird Outings
Join us for a relaxed bird walk in a Seattle neighborhood or park—you might be surprised by what we discover. Neighborhood Bird Outings are free, open to all, and require no registration. All experience levels welcome. Find an outing.
Field Trips
Enjoy small-group birding day trips led year-round by experienced guides to destinations across Washington. Beginners are always welcome. Because space is limited and demand is high, some trips use a lottery for registration. A $15 per person fee supports each outing (waivers available). Register for a trip.
Birding Vacations
Enjoy intimate, all inclusive, multi-day birding trips with expert guides—amazing wildlife, great meals, and a small group experience—all while supporting local conservation through Birds Connect Seattle. Relax on your next birding vacation.
