While the month of November may spell Thanksgiving and pumpkin pie to some, it is also the month to plan ahead for the annual Christmas Bird Counts (CBCs) taking place throughout all of North America and beyond. We have scheduled Rainier's CBC for Sunday, December 29th, 2024. Mark your calendars!
Join Rainier Audubon for a trip north to visit the Skagit Valley. Species we expect to see include Bald Eagle, Northern Harrier, Northern Pintail, Green-winged Teal, Snow Geese, Trumpeter Swans, American Wigeon, possibly American Kestrel and shore birds. This trip would for suitable for those with differing abilities, since a lot of the birding can be done from the car.
In 2024 I managed to make three trips to the Malheur Wildlife Refuge. The first in April, for their Migratory Bird Festival. The second the last two weeks in May. And the last in September for the Fall migration.
