Pack your winter hat and a warm drink!

The Ridgefield Field Class will meet near the refuge on Saturday morning. Experiencing birds in different habitat is an important tool to being a better birder. At Ridgefield we will see a variety of habitats. The Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) consists of approximately 5300 acres – a lush mixture of wetlands, grasslands, riparian corridors, and forests. This variety of habitats, combined with a mild and rainy winter climate, make for an ideal environment for bird species including song birds, raptors, wintering waterfowl, and other local species. Please dress warm during the day we will get out of our cars and walk on easy trails to experience birds in their habitat.

The cost will be $55 per person and will include 4 hour (Richfield) or 4 hour birding explorations on our Skagit Valley Raptors Filed Class. We will take a total of 8 participants. Refunds will be given as credit unless I can fill the spot, most people just donate the funds. Teenage children (and those 10 years and up that are really into Birding) can attend with an adult.
