Birding Without Breakfast: Scatter Creek, June 3
Date: Saturday, June 3
Time: 7:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.
Leader: Deb Nickerson
Description: Birding (without Breakfast) at Scatter Creek Wildlife Area at 7:30 a.m., for a walk when migration is in full swing, through prairie and open woodlands of Garry Oaks. Expect to see Western Wood-Pewees and hear Olive-sided Flycatchers, as well as other prairie species. Discover Pass required. Birding without Breakfast walks are especially appropriate for beginning and intermediate birders.
Meeting location: Meet at 7:30 a.m. at the South Tract of the Scatter Creek Wildlife Area. Discover Pass is required. To reach Scatter Creek Wildlife Area from Olympia, take exit 95 from I-5 onto Maytown Rd. SW (toward Littlerock), but in 0.2 miles, turn left on Case Road. Proceed for about 6 miles on Case Rd, going about a mile or so past the parking areas for the North Tract (which Google indicates for Scatter Creek Wildlife Recreation Area). Then right on 180th Ave SW, then right again at a T and immediately reach the parking area for the South Tract of the Scatter Creek Wildlife Area, which has a sign.
BHAS has loaner binoculars and a spotting scope for our field trips. If you wish to borrow, please contact us at 4info@nullblackhills-audubon.org a few days ahead of the trip.
No registration needed.
