Fresh Water and Saltwater Birds

Lake Fenwick, Washington 25828 Lake Fenwick Rd, Kent, Washington, United States

Join us for a morning walk around Lake Fenwick to look for wintering waterfowl and woodland birds. We’ll practice spotting, listening for, and identifying the species we encounter. Then we’ll move on to Redondo Beach to scan Poverty Bay for saltwater birds. We may walk part of the boardwalk there, and check the edges of nearby Wooten Park if time allows. 

Black River Riparian Forest Field Trip

Black River Riparian Forest 600 Oakesdale Ave. SW, Renton, Washington, United States

Nesting has begun at Renton's Black River Riparian Forest. I visited this past weekend and we saw about 30 herons. Some were even standing in nests and one was pointing his/her beak skyward to let the others know that they were looking for a mate.

If 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.
