South County 70+ Bird Quest

We’ll visit a variety of habitats and locations in South County in a quest to find 70+ species. Expect plenty of “action,” as migration will be in full swing and birds in full song. Tireless, hardcore birders who like a faster pace and a “more-the-merrier” approach to one’s day list will have a blast. Special emphasis will be placed on passerines and birdsong. Last year’s highlights: Hermit Warbler, Lazuli Bunting, Ruffed Grouse, Whimbrel, even an after-hours White-tailed Kite. Dress for the weather and bring a hands-free pack for water, food, field guide, etc. Please note that bathroom facilities will be few if any. Group size limited to 12. Call or text Paul Hicks at 360.870.3819 for reservations. Meet at 475 Sussex Ave. W. on the main drag near Tenino High School. Participants will be able to head home at any time. If the weather is rotten, call Paul after 5:45am to check for cancellation.
