About Our Outings
We gather to go out on the land throughout the Southern California region to connect with nature and with one another on a regular basis. Most often, the outings are in San Diego County and we hope to venture farther as our capacity allows.
MONTHLY BIRDING
We have a regularly scheduled bird outing the second Sunday of the month from 8am-10am.
SCBN x WBC
Bi-monthly (every other month), we meet at the iconic Worldbeat Cultural Center in Balboa Park. Click here for information on getting here & free/paid parking.
LET'S GO BIRDING POP-UPs
Occasionally, we also do Let's Go Birding POP-UPs. These come up to celebrate a Bird Nerd coming to town or for another reason, like a rare bird sighting or a special, unexpected event. We try to give as much notice as possible and recommend following us on Instagram and signing up to receive email updates.
Subscribe here to receive news and updates about upcoming birding and nature outings, and events.
