Bird Walk: Bright Pond
Photo: Eastern Towhee, Larry Meade
Join us for a summer morning walk around Bright Pond! We will bird in a field by the dam, in woodland, and around the pond. To see what has been observed here previously, take a look at the Bright Pond eBird hotspot page.
This walk is open to birders of all experience levels--beginners are very welcome. Your birding guides are experienced local birders Robin Duska and Jeff Tessein, who both also lead walks for Reston Association. Robin helps lead the weekly Sunday walk at Great Falls National Park and conducts Friday morning walks at Riverbend from spring to autumn; as a volunteer, she also helps scientists manage the Bird Division's collection at the National Museum of Natural History.
Meet at the cul-de-sac shown on the right side of the photo below--it's at the end of Bright Pond Lane, which is off Reston Parkway.
If you have binoculars, please bring them with you.
Registration is recommended but not required. Registrants will get a reminder about the walk and will be notified via email if the walk is canceled.
We will be documenting the birds we see in eBird and the leader will share the eBird list with you after the walk. If you don't already have an eBird account, you can sign up for a free one here: ebird.org/home
