🐦 Event Description
Lazy Birders are excited to lead a sunrise Bird Photo Walk as a part of the annual Worldwide Photo Walk to support Springs of Hope Kenya, a home and education center for orphaned children.

Our relaxed two-hour walk in this urban wetland hotspot will be packed with chances to snap stunning photos of early wintering birds that have already migrated here to enjoy San Francisco's unique climate, as well as the local residents, from sparrows to herons.

We prefer to keep the photo walk to a small, fun group of 8 members, so email us today!

Our camera and birding gear
Body Sony ⍺ 7II, Lens Sony FE 200-600mm, Tripod Sirui AM-225 Carbon Fiber Small, and Nocs Provisions Binoculars.

Ethical bird photography
We believe in capturing beautiful bird photos while respecting their space, keeping a gentle distance, and ensuring our presence doesn’t disturb their habitat.
