Bird walks are held every Monday morning year-round, except when July 4 or December 25 falls on a Monday. The starting time varies depending on the season. During the summer months, May through September, the bird walks begin at 7:00 AM. During the cooler months, October through April, the bird walks begin at 8:00 AM.

Birders all meet at the garden entrance. If you miss the start of the bird walk, just come on into the garden and join the group. Staff and volunteers will be glad to direct you to the location of the group. It is the usual practice for the bird walks to begin along the Desert Wildflower Loop Trail. The entrance to this trail is directly west of the Garden Admissions area. Desert Botanical Garden Bird Walks web site
