Join friends for informal walking and birding programs for all.
Before Old Man Winter blasts onto the scene, get out and enjoy nature with some birding friends. SMAS offers several options, including a stroll on November 8 at Mallows Bay-Potomac River National Marine Sanctuary with the group Walk Charles County. In late November and early December, we will be monitoring the newly arriving ducks at Mattawoman Creek. Keep an eye on the SMAS Group on Facebook for a late-breaking “flash” outing along the George Wilmot Trail in Indian Head. In previous years we have seen hundreds of ducks of many species! Finally, we welcome birders of all levels to join us on Christmas Bird Counts taking place in various counties on December 14, 21, 27, and January 4. Check out our Events calendar for more details.
