BHAS Field Trip: Olympia Airport

Mazama Gophers and Streaked Horned Larks at the Olympia Airport

Leader: Michelle Tirhi, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife

Michelle’s has offered BHAS members the chance to visit restricted areas at the Olympia Airport (South Sound prairie habitat) to see endangered Mazama Gophers (in fact we may only see their mounds) and Streaked Horned Larks.  Michelle says there is a chance also to see Oregon Vesper Sparrows.

Meet at the airport’s office parking lot. The field trip will include time for brief overviews of larks and gophers as well as viewing.
