Queer Birding Hike - Tennessee

​This event is free to attend, with optional donations welcomed.

​Led by TVOP Volunteer Aubrey and Ornithologist Luke (Birdman) Coe-Starr, join us for a hike just outside of Knoxville exploring several bird habitats. Coe-Starr has traveled all over the world analyzing avian behavioral ecology, but calls Oak Ridge home. The duration of the hike, between 3-6 miles, will be determined by the group! The park will have water, forest, and open greenway areas with tons of opportunities to spot various species of birds. Bring your listening ears and binoculars if you have them!

​We ask folks under the age of 18 to please register themselves and an adult to accompany them. This event is intended for the LGBTQ+ community and is open to ages 14 and up. If you require a service dog to attend, please let us know and we’ll collaborate with you on how to keep you both comfortable and hydrated on the hike.
