Sunday, April 21 Ocean Shores Meet at The Flooring Company parking lot on the corner of 6th and Simpson in Hoquiam at 8:30 am. We will check various birding strongholds including the trail at Ocean City State Park, The North Jetty, The sewage treatment plant, Oyhut Wildlife Refuge, and Bill's Spit depending on tide and time. If you live in Ocean Shores, contact me directly for a convenient meeting place. Sunday, May 12, Mima Mounds near Littlerock, WA Meet at Tractor Supply Parking area closest to Hwy 12 at 8:00am. If you live east of Aberdeen, contact me for a meeting place more convenient for you. Enroute, Hwy 12 offers overviews of the Chehallis River valley. We will spend most of the time at Mima Mounds walking the trails and the forested roadway. If we have extra time there are some small parks in Littlerock where we can check for birds. Tuesday, May 28 Julie Butler Hansen Wildlife Refuge near Cathlamet, WA Meet at Tractor Supply Parking area near Hwy 12 at 8:00 am. This is a 2 hour drive, but it offers an excellent mix of driving and walking trails. Located close to the Columbia River, there is a wide mix of songbirds, raptors and water fowl. Just a reminder, if you would like to be included on my Birders email list, be sure to contact me so you can get the latest reminders of what's happening in the birder's world. Contact Mary O'Neil |
