DC Bird Alliance

08/03/2026

If you've been waiting for the return of DC Bird Alliance's favorite game night, the wait is almost over.

We're bringing back Wingspan Wednesdays, complete with fellow bird enthusiasts, great conversation, and even a signature bird-inspired cocktail. 🍸🪶

We're easing back with a couple of game tables to start. If the response is anything like last time, we'll be adding more tables before you know it.

Want first dibs on a seat at the table? Follow DC Bird Alliance on Eventbrite and you'll be among the first to know when registration opens.

We can't wait to shuffle the cards again!

All eyes on the birds. 👀🐦

What a fantastic morning at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens! Our flock enjoyed great company, beautiful summer scenery, and a special bonus...a Tri-colored Heron made an appearance and stole the show.

Every bird walk is different. You never know what you'll find, who you'll meet, or what memorable moment is waiting around the next bend.

Thanks to everyone who joined us this morning. We can't wait to see you on the next adventure!

Summer is showing off at McKee-Beshers! 🌻

The sunflowers are putting on quite a show, and we aren't the only ones who can't seem to get enough of them.

Keep an eye out for American Goldfinches, Indigo Buntings, and plenty of other feathered friends.

If you've been thinking about making the trip, now's the time. The blooms won't last forever, and before long they'll be saying their goodbyes until next summer.

See you at the sunflower fields! 💛

🧡 See that orange Flock Star hat?

That's our superstar Junior Ambassador Mac, leading the way.

We love this photo because it captures exactly what the Junior Ambassador program is all about. Young people inspiring other young people to get outside, ask questions, and discover the joy of birds.

Mac will be back at it on August 1 for Kids with Bins: A Youth-Led Bird Walk at Kingman and Heritage Islands.

Bring the kiddos. They'll be following one of their own.
