Field Trip to Coast
August 20
WHEN: Tuesday, August 20
TIME: All day with 7:15 am starting time
PLACE: Mud Bay Park & Ride to form carpools
DESTINATIONS: Bottle Beach, Westport, Tokeland
LEADERS: Miles McEvoy and Kathleen Snyder
REGISTRATION: This trip will be limited to 4 cars with 4 occupants each. Please register with Kathleen at ksnyder75@nullgmail.com and indicate if you can drive. Those who don’t drive will contribute money for gas. Vehicles will need a Discover Pass.
DESCRIPTION: It is south-bound migration time at the coast! We will explore hotspots between Tokeland and Westport and expect to see adult and juvenile shorebirds refueling and moving through. This is mostly a drive, park, and bird type of day although there will be some walking. Bottle Beach requires shoes that can get wet and muddy. Bring lunch, water, snacks and a garbage bag if you switch out your wet shoes. If you have a scope, please bring it.
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.
