Sunset Birding Boat Tour

Register here

Join the Anacostia Watershed Society for a special birding boat tour of the Anacostia River to explore the ecological and historical changes that have occurred in the river and in the communities around the river. This will be one of our last boat tours of the year with special guest, Lynette Fullerton, who will guide us in identifying bird species of the watershed. This time of the day, we have the chance to see nighthawks, swallows, bats, beavers and more, travelling through our watershed.

Meeting Location: We will gather at the boat ramp in Bladensburg Waterfront Park. There is ample parking available.

What to Wear/Bring: We recommend wearing layers and bringing water. 

Note:  All tours are weather dependent. We will proceed in light rain but may need to cancel if there is heavy rain, lightning, or strong wind in the forecast.

If you have any questions prior to the event, please contact Kaila Cantens at [email protected]. We look forward to hosting you on our favorite river!
