Birds & Breakfast is a casual morning gathering at Hub RTP where community members meet to observe local and migratory birds along Burdens Creek while enjoying a light breakfast. It is a relaxed way to ease into the weekend, connect with other nature enthusiasts, and learn how to spot different species in a peaceful wetland habitat. If you plan to attend, keep in mind that this event is best suited for adults and older children who can remain relatively quiet while looking for wildlife. Admission is entirely free, and a light breakfast is provided at no cost. You will want to bring your own binoculars if you have them, wear comfortable walking shoes for the gravel paths, and dress in layers for the cool morning air. Parking is available in the main Hub RTP lots close to the Horseshoe area. This gathering makes an excellent Friday morning outing because it offers a calm, screen-free start to the weekend. It allows you to spend quality time outdoors, learn about local North Carolina wildlife from experienced birders, and head home with plenty of time left to plan your Saturday and Sunday activities.
