What do Hawk’s Prairie, Theler Wetlands and the Toledo area have in common? All three were featured in our Do-It Yourself (DIY) field trips during the month of February. Jen DeSelle, Bonnie Wood and Anders Price scouted out these three great winter birding destinations and reported back so you could check them out.
If you have a hankering for warblers, you can find both Townsend’s and Yellow-rumped at the LOTT Hawk’s Prairie settling ponds. If a lovely walk over boardwalks and through various habitats with birds all round will chase away the last of the winter doldrums for you, then Theler Wetlands near Belfair has your name all over it. The Toledo area in Lewis County will probably be new territory for most of our members; what fun to have a new adventure while following a route designed just for birders (to be posted Feb 28).
Thank you to all of our dedicated scouts. You can find the link to their reports on our homepage, bottom left section.
