​PRESQUE ISLE AUDUBON FIELD TRIPS
  • Presque Isle Audubon hosted field trips are open to the public for people of all ages and skill levels and are free of charge.
  • Unless otherwise specified, any field trips on Presque Isle will meet at the Stull Center parking lot at 7:45AM where we will then carpool to our designated trail.
  • All trips are subject to change depending on trail conditions. We will bird in almost any weather unless there is a torrential downpour or a forecast for dangerous conditions.
  • Warm and waterproof clothing and shoes are recommended, especially for trips earlier in the schedule. Slip on waterproof boots often come in handy.
  • Bring your binoculars of course, but we will have a few pairs of binoculars available for use if you or someone you bring doesn’t have them. If you have a spotting scope, you are welcome to bring it.
Please contact us at info@presqueisleaudubon.com with any questions or comments related to these field trips.
