SUMMARY:Bass Lake Complex Fall 2025 Bird Walk
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, October 12@9:00am – 1:00 pm (Backup Bad Weather Date)Leaders: Ken Schroeder and Dolly OwenJoin leaders Ken Schroeder and Dolly Owen for a half-day exploration of the Bass Lake Complex Natural Area. We do a one-way walk to explore three different lakes in this lowland basin along a well-maintained trail\, for a total of 1.8 miles. There are only a few gentle uphill sections. We go slowly for birding and nature study. With luck we will observe some fall migrating birds\, and possibly a glimpse of the Mt. Rainier Elk herd. Our walk ends at the mysterious “Sinkhole Lake” with a well-deserved reputation of being bottomless.The Bass Lake Complex is a ten-minute drive from Flaming Geyser State Park. We will meet at Whitney Bridge Park at the intersection of SE Green Valley Road\, and 218th Ave SE. This intersection is just west of Flaming Geyser State Park. Look for our vehicles parked in a gravelly pull-off at this intersection.When all guests have arrived\, we will caravan to Sinkhole Lake. Two cars are parked here while the other two cars shuttle eight birders to our starting location at Bass Lake. At the conclusion of the hike\, we shuttle back to the starting point and go our separate ways. Stopping for lunch at the nearby\, and world famous\, “Black Diamond Bakery” is optional.We must have a total of four cars that each seat four to shuttle between the starting and ending points. This bird hike is capped at six guests\, plus two leaders for a total of eight. We remain together for the entire outing.Bring hiking boots\, a water bottle\, a few snacks\, rain gear\, binoculars\, an optional hiking pole\, and your sense of adventure. If the weather is bad\, we will postpone to the following weekend.To register for this outing please email Ken Schroeder at kenschroeder@msn.com.Ken is also at 253-939-7470.

SUMMARY:Ecology of Our Endangered “Regal” Hawk
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve driven through the arid shrub-steppe landscape in eastern Washington and caught a glimpse of an impressive hawk in striking white and rust-colored plumage you’ve probably been treated to an increasingly rare sighting – that of our largest soaring hawk\, the Ferruginous Hawk (Buteo regalis).  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease join us as we explore unique aspects of the breeding ecology\, winter ecology\, and migration of this iconic hawk\, and how we are working to recover this endangered species. \n\n\n\nJim Watson is a Wildlife Research Scientist with the Washington Department of Fish andWildlife (WDFW) and the lead researcher for statewide raptor studies. He has spent the past 50 years studying raptors in the western United States and abroad. Jim’s research focus includes raptor population dynamics\, migration ecology\, and management of raptors in human landscapes. His recent work evaluates impacts of wind energy and lead contaminants on golden eagles and ferruginous hawks.
