Monthly Bird Walks

Did you know that over 100 species of birds visit Patterson Park and over 50 species call the Park and surrounding neighborhoods home? Bird walk regulars have seen Red-tailed Hawks, American Bitterns, Scarlet Tanagers and Baltimore Orioles. Click here for our list of birds.

All bird walk programs begin at the fountain located in the corner of the park closest to the intersections of Lombard Street and Patterson Park Avenue. The walks take place from 8:00 am to 9:30 am and are open to all ages. Bird walks occur rain or shine on the last Saturday of each month. No binoculars? No problem. Just let the center know at 410-558-2473 or via email.
