From the WSSC web site:
Bird Watching
March 15 through November 30, conditions permitting, ? hour before Sunrise to Sunset
A WSSC Use Permit is required for all bird watchers that are 16 years of age or older. Minors under 16 years of age must be accompanied by a person at least 18 years of age who also holds a valid Use Permit. A Use Permit is only valid when used by the person to whom it is issued, and must be carried at all times when bird watching on WSSC property.
Bird Watching is allowed only at designated areas on WSSC property. In addition to the March 15 - November 30 Open Season, special organized events, such as the annual Audubon Society Christmas Count will be coordinated through WSSC's Watershed Manager. There will be no charge for participants of the Christmas Bird Count. The Trails to and from bird watching sites must not be used if they are wet or muddy. Daily open/closed status of these trails is available at www.WSSCwater.com <http://www.wsscwater.com/home/jsp/content/watershed-map-directions.faces> . Maps of current bird watching sites are available at the Brighton Dam Visitors Cabin and online at www.WSSCwater.com <http://www.WSSCwater.com> .
