Leader: Barbara Petersen

Meet: Tukwila Community Center

Join Barbara for a morning exploration of birding spots near the Duwamish River. You will want to return to these places often in the spring when they can be quite busy with bird activity. Common sightings include Osprey, Bald Eagle, Green Heron, Belted Kingfisher, Western Tanager, even Bullock’s Oriole if the timing is right. We’ll visit North Wind’s Weir, Cecil Moses Park, Duwamish Hill Preserve, Duwamish Gardens and the river path at Tukwila Community Center.

Meet at the Tukwila Community Center in front of the main entrance by 8:30 a.m. and we’ll finish there about 12:30 p.m. We’ll walk less than a half a mile on paved trails. Bring drinks, snacks, binoculars, scopes and cameras as needed to enhance this half day outing. We’ll sharpen our spotting skills, as a few of these spots have traffic noise that impedes birding by ear.
