SUMMARY:Hawks & Raptors Field Class
DESCRIPTION:Different class each day\, or you can sign up for both! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPack a hat\, gloves and warm drink!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMigrating Raptors are fascinating to observe. Please join Kevin O’Malley and Barbara Petersen for a winter raptor viewing adventure. The Skagit Field Class will be held on Saturday March 4th & Suday March 5th from 9-11 & 12-2. This is a time when many migrating raptors move through the Skagit Valley. It might be cold\, so dress in many layers. We will spend two separate blocks of time birding with a lunch break in between. Most of the time we will be close to our cars\, and will drive from one destination to another during each two-hour birding adventure. During the day you will have the opportunity to walk on easy trails and view raptors through a spotting scope. We will meet at a location TBA near Edison\, WA. We will be wearing masks and driving in separate cars. \n\n\n\nThe cost will be $55 per person and will include four hours of birding each day. We will take a total of 8 participants. We have the option to separate into two small groups. Teenage children (and those 10 years and up who are really into Birding) can attend with an adult. Refunds will be given as credit unless I can fill the spot. Most people just donate the funds if they must cancel.  Please contact Kevin O’Malley at omalley23@gmail.com for more information\, payment options and to sign up.

SUMMARY:Black River Riparian Forest Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:by /Suzanne Knrom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you’d like to see the nesting herons at Black River before the cottonwoods leaf out\, this will be the time to do it. Once the trees are leafed out\, the nests will be very difficult to see. When we were there last month\, we saw 30-40 herons\, and counted 18 nests from last year. The birds are pairing up\, repairing last years’ nests\, and building new ones now. It’s possible that some have started incubating their first eggs. We’ll know if that’s the case if we see herons sitting in their nests\, as opposed to standing.  \n\n\n\nYou are welcome to join us. Details —  \n\n\n\n\nBlack River Riparian Forest field trip — \n\n\n\nDate/time: Sunday\, March 19\, 3:30 – 5:00 pm \n\n\n\nMeet: In the Oakesdale Center parking lot\, 600 Oakesdale Ave. SW\, Renton 98057. The best place for us all to gather at 3:30pm is near the Northwest Kidney Center. (Sorry\, no bathroom access on Sundays.) \n\n\n\n\nIf you have binoculars\, be sure to bring them. Also\, if you’d like to take photos\, you’ll need a lens for long distances (equivalent to about a football field away). We’d really appreciate getting copies of your photos!  \n\n\n\nTwo important notes: \n\n\n\n\nIf this is your first visit to this wildlife sanctuary\, we strongly recommend attending our field trip so you’ll know the best viewing areas and safest route. (Taking a different route will give you an entirely different experience and is definitely not recommended.) \n\n\n\nIn case anyone wants to visit on their own in the future\, please do not go alone. Black River Riparian Forest is 96 wooded acres and the vast majority of it is very isolated. I’ll add that if you find yourself in trouble\, call 911. However the challenge would be in identifying exactly where you are because there are no markers.   \n\n\n\n\nI hope you can join us! Please let me know if you can make it.  \n\n\n\nSuzanne
