Bird Walks Rating System

Our weekly bird walks take place in a number of diverse locations throughout the tri-city area. On occasion, we venture even farther beyond the confines of our immediate area. We will go where the birds are!

Because of this, we find ourselves in a variety of habitats and difficulty levels in regards to hiking and navigating. Most walks are fairly easy but we do seek out some more challenging spots, as the situation dictates. We will always go at the speed of the group and can adjust as needed. Fortunately, birding by its very nature is a slow and methodical process.

Below is a rating to help you understand potential challenges associated with any given location. Of course, if you have any questions, you are always welcome to reach out to us. We hope to see you on a walk soon!

*

Expect paved trails, or very nice dirt trails & limited elevation change. These will be accessible to most people.

**

Expect maintained dirt trails and potentially some mild elevation variations. Wear appropriate shoes for a dirt surface.

***

Expect dirt trails that may have a lateral slope and a potentially loose surface. Challenging elevation changes may be present.

Wear good hiking shoes and other appropriate clothing. The participants should have some hiking experience.

****

Expect loosely defined trails with consistent tripping hazards along the way. The trails may have unsteady or loose surfaces and quality hiking footwear should be utilized.

Significant elevation changes will be present. Participants should be fit and confident in their ability to navigate an undeveloped environment.

*****

Expect a complete lack of a defined trail. Any situation that can be found in a completely natural setting can be expected.

The participants should have the utmost confidence in their ability to navigate wild terrain without significant assistance.

Quality hiking gear should be utilized.
