SUMMARY:A Gentle Walk with Birds & Nature
DESCRIPTION:(DC) (DC Bird Alliance) Join DC Bird Alliance for a very special bird walk in Rock Creek Park  that invites us to discover — or rediscover — what it means to be a birder. Together with Susan West Montgomery\, certified forest bathing guide\, we’ll slow down\, cultivate curiosity\, and experience birds and nature more fully. This walk blends gentle bird observation with the practice of forest bathing\, which invites participants to use all of their senses to take in the sights\, sounds\, and scents of the forest. We’ll move at a relaxed pace\, observe our surroundings\, and reflect. No prior birding experience is needed\, just openness and curiosity.

SUMMARY:The Beauty and Magic of Winter Trees (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:(DMV) (Capital Nature) Join renowned local naturalist Alonso Abugattas\, the Capital Naturalist\, for a fascinating talk on trees during the winter months. Evergreens like American Hollies and Eastern Cedars provide life-sustaining food and shelter to birds and other wildlife\, and reward us with sightings of refreshing green and red. Deciduous trees reveal stunning winter forms while they gather strength for spring buds. With a keen eye you can recognize amazing Oaks\, Beeches\, and Sycamores by their distinctive bark\, nuts\, and fruits. \nAlonso will draw on his abundant knowledge of the natural world\, and on legends of indigenous peoples to reveal the amazing living world of our local trees in winter.
