About This Walk
The Adobe photo team and Lazy Birders are excited to lead a sunrise Bird Photo Walk at the beautiful birding patch, Heron’s Head Park. Our relaxed two-hour walk in this urban wetland hotspot will be packed with chances to snap stunning photos of wintering birds heading to enjoy San Francisco’s unique climate and also the local residents from sparrows and herons.
We aim to build a fun, supportive community where we can share and learn birding and photography techniques together. After the walk, we’ll offer an optional online session to edit our images and share what we’ve learned.
We prefer to keep the walk to a small fun group of 10 members, so sign up today!
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.
