Meeting Place: Meet at Woodard Bay parking area. Discovery Pass required. Look for people with binoculars.
Description: This field trip is primarily for beginning and intermediate birders. Dress appropriately for the day’s weather. Be prepared to walk an approximately ½ mile paved road with gentle hills. If desired, there is also a path through the forest that consists mostly of conifers. We will see and hear the usual resident birds as well as ducks, other water birds and seals.
