FIELD TRIP: WATERFOWL AND RAPTORS
Saturday, February 18 - 9:00 a.m.
February is a great month to look for waterfowl. There are many places along the Columbia and Snake Rivers where they congregate during the winter, and now that hunting season is over they should be easier to find. We'll be looking for ducks, swans, and hopefully snow geese. Since the January raptor field trip was cancelled, we will also look for raptors along the way. Bring a lunch and dress warm for a fun day of birding.
Call 525-2963 if you plan to attend.
