Des Moines Audubon Activities
In addition to the fellowship found at our regular meetings, members also
participate in our many outdoor activities. Check the upcoming events on the
right or scroll through the calendar to plan ahead.
Field Trips are held the second Saturday of the month
and ably led by Dennis Thompson. Beginners are very welcome and this is a
great way to improve your birding skills by joining in a wide range of birders.
The Des Moines Christmas Bird Count is held during the national count period each
year. Watch the calendar for this year's date and details.
Many volunteers from Des Moines Audubon help with community events sponsored by
the Polk County Conservation Board or various city parks boards.
In the true tradition of "No Child Left Inside", the pure enjoyment of helping
young people see a pelican through the scope or watching a reaction to a live
hawk up close and personal is one of the personal birding highlights for many of our
members.
