Shorebird field trip to Grays Harbor and Tokeland

All day trip to Tokeland, Westport, Bottle Beach, and the Hoquiam Sewage Treatment Ponds! Always save the best for last. This will be a great day for seeing the shorebird fall migration. Hundreds, if not thousands, of shorebirds will be in fall plumage. Spotting scopes will be available to help see the birds.

WHEN: Monday, August 29^th. Meet at 7:45 AM at Mud Bay Park and Ride. Leave for Tokeland at 8 AM. Westport Marina late morning, Bottle Beach for the incoming tide and lunch. Hoquiam STP mid-afternoon. Return to Olympia late afternoon.  We will be driving individual cars (no carpooling except for family pods) to minimize virus exposure.  If you want to proceed on to Ocean Shores, feel free to leave us after our Hoquiam stop.

BRING:

Binoculars and spotting scope (if you have one)

Lunch, snacks, drinks

Layered clothing – it can be cool and windy by the water

Shoes/boots that can get muddy at Bottle Beach
