Tips for Birding

Parking - Always a challenge. WMATA Bus routes L2, 42, and 43 are options. 

Birding - Birding can be productive in the early morning. There is a fenced community garden near Columbia Rd., and a flower garden by the basketball courts which can attract good birds as spring progresses and into summertime.

Gear - Binoculars are sufficient. Scope not recommended. 

Safety Concerns - None specific, yet off-leash dogs are expected.
