Blue Mountain Audubon - Walla Walla, WA

BMAS Meeting - Thursday September 16 - 7:30 PM
Gaiser Auditorium, Hall of Science, Whitman College

PROGRAM: East of Yellowstone

Bob Carson, Professorof Geology and Environmental Studies at Whitman College will enlighten us on the geologic history of the region east of Yellowstone Park, where the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River rises in ancient crystalline rocks high in the Beartooth Mountains and then passes a variety of sedimentary rocks and the Absaroka volcanics as it rushes to the Bighorn Basin. Following the Chief Joseph and Beartooth Highways and stopping in the Clarks Fork Valley and Sunlight Basin, he will recount a trip he led this summer for Whitman. This is sure to be another program you won't want to miss.

SEPTEMBER FIELD TRIP

Migrants on the Move Saturday, September 18 - 8:00 a.m. Harper Joy Theatre Parking Lot It's that time of year when birds, including shorebirds, migrate through our area on their way south for the winter. The Walla Walla River Delta and the blood ponds on Dodd Road are two of the best places to find shorebirds. You never know what might show up. Mike and MerryLynn Denny know the area better than anyone else and they will be leading us on a trip to find some rare birds - and some of the more common ones too. I can guarantee you we will see good birds with the Dennys as our leaders. It will be a fun trip. Bring lunch and plan on doing some walking. Call 529-0080 if you plan to attend.
