birdwalk
Straying from topic
A birdwalk is a guided group outing to observe birds in their natural habitat, typically led by an experienced birder who helps identify species by sight and sound.
Local Audubon societies and nature centers commonly organize birdwalks: The Saturday morning birdwalk starts at the marsh at 7 a.m.
