Join us for a morning Bird Photo Walk at the beautiful Cloisters Park, Morro Bay. During our relaxed two-hour photo walk, you will have plenty of chances to snap stunning photos of birds in different habitats, portrait shots of Long-billed Curlews, Snowy Plovers in flight, and experiment with compositions in the soft morning light. We'll stay on pavement or boardwalk most of the way, ending with a short stretch of sandy path through the dunes. 

We aim to build a fun, supportive community where we can learn birding and photography techniques from one another. We will have an optional post-walk online session, allowing everyone to share photos and experiences from the day. Our camera and birding gear: Body Sony Alpha 7 II body, 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.

Meet ats Cloisters Park. From Hwy 1 at the north end of Morro Bay, turn west (toward the water) at the San Jacinto traffic light, then take first left (south) on Coral Avenue; in a few blocks enter the parking lot on the right, next to the restrooms.
