Birdathon Field Trip to Eastern Washington
May 31, 2023 All day
Join Barbara Petersen for a fundraising field trip to Eastern Washington!
Raise Birdathon money for Rainier Audubon’s Nest Box Project expansion!
Gather your own Birdathon sponsors for this trip, OR sponsor Barbara by pledging 25 cents per species found on the trip (or any donation amount). All funds will be used to purchase supplies for additional nest boxes as we expand this beneficial RAS project beyond Emerald Downs, Soos Creek Botanical Garden and Clark Lake Park to other properties. We’ll bird spots on Snoqualmie Pass, in Cle Elum, Ellensburg, Vantage, Frenchman’s Coulee, and near Wanapum Dam. With a goal of 75 species, we’ll look for Mountain and Western Bluebird, Mountain Chickadee, Say’s Phoebe, White-throated Swift, Pygmy and White-breasted Nuthatch, Yellow-headed Blackbirds, raptors, waterfowl, and some lovely scenery.
Meet at 7:00AM at South Renton Park & Ride, 205 S 7th St, just north of Grady Way and Renton Village Shopping Center, to form carpools. Bring binoculars, scopes, cameras, layered clothing for varying weather conditions, lunch, snacks, beverages, sunscreen. We’ll likely stop for dinner on the way back, return to P&R as late as 8 or 9:00 PM.
