Bird Walk - Wheaton Regional Park

Explore Wheaton Regional Park with DCBA - woodlands, open spaces, and spring migrants at a relaxed, beginner-friendly pace.

Join DC Bird Alliance for a spring bird walk at Wheaton Regional Park, a diverse landscape of woodlands, open spaces, and winding trails that come alive during migration.

We’ll move at a very relaxed, beginner-friendly pace, pausing often to observe and identify birds together. This is a great walk for both new and experienced birders, with opportunities to see a variety of species using the park’s mixed habitats.
