Events and Bird Walks

Bird Watch takes place on the covered patio at the back of the Chapel Hill Public Library.  New Hope Bird Alliance volunteers assist library staff with helping visitors use binoculars to identify birds coming to the library's feeders and sharing the count with Project Feederwatch, a nation-wide citizen science project.  We also have games for kids and families.

For questions, contact Vern Bothwell at [email protected]. The location will be Sandy Creek Park, 3510 Sandy Creek Dr, Durham, NC 27707. This is an accessible site with paved trails. See more information here on accessibility.

This outing is sponsored by the New Hope Bird Alliance (formerly New Hope Audubon).

Outings usually last 2-3 hours. No reservations or sign-up needed. If there is a large turnout for any particular outing, we may split into two groups. We do recommend carpooling for families or friend pods; while we love pets, there is a ‘no-pet’ policy for bird outings. New birders and birders of all skill levels are welcome.

Please wear long pants, socks, and sturdy shoes (ticks and chiggers may be present). Sun and bug protection are also recommended. Bring snacks and water if you like. Heavy rain will result in cancellation.
