Barb from SJI Audubon sends over this invitation…
Join SJ Islands Audubon for a field trip on Saturday, April 12th during the first annual Orcas Island Bird and Wildlife Festival. This morning trip takes us exploring great Orcas locations looking for lingering seabirds, swans and ducks and arriving warblers and other songbirds.
This is a superb trip to tune up for spring bird songs. Those new to birding are especially welcome and it’s a wonderful time to see old friends and make some new ones. Meet at the ferry dock at 7:30am – we make sure all the other island ferries have arrived – and we will be carpooling. Bring a lunch, binoculars, a favorite bird book and dress for the weather. Trip ends early afternoon.
Stay on Orcas for other BirdFest events in the day! Call Barb Jensen for more field trip info or if you are coming as space is limited. 378-3068. The festival runs from April 10th – 12th. Get more info on the festival and schedule at: http://www.orcasislandbirdfest.com/
Then on the following weekend – Birding on Lopez Island is always wonderful and listening for the spring choirs of songbirds makes if delightful. Our field trip to Lopez Island is Saturday, April 19th. This is the height of spring migration for songbirds and we will be looking for all the new arrivals. This is a great trip to tune up on your bird songs, meet new people and discover good birding spots. New birders are always welcome. Meet at the Lopez ferry dock at 7:30 for carpooling. Trip ends early afternoon. Bring a lunch and dress for the weather. For more info call Barbara Jensen. 378-3068
