Our intrepid DIY field trip scouts continue to go forth and find the best places for you to explore in a COVID-19 restricted manner. Here are the places that were featured in January:
Gary Wiles sent in a report on Black Lake Meadows, an urban refuge located a bit northwest of the Olympia South Puget Sound Community College campus. This is a perfect destination when you only have a few hours to bird.
Kyle Leader went a bit farther. Brady Loop is located just off of Olympic Highway 12 as you are approaching Montesano. This should be on your must-do list for winter. It hosts raptors and water birds galore and is perfect for mobility challenged birders.
Whittier Johnson snagged one of the prettiest areas of our DIY campaign. His report (due 1/30) will cover the Hood Canal and places like Potlatch State Park, Hunter Farms, and Union Marina. Pick a cooperative day of weather, pack a picnic lunch, and enjoy some of the prettiest country of south Puget Sound.
As always, the newest DIY report is featured on our website homepage (Blackhills-audubon.org) along with a link to all the previous reports.
