Whidbey Audubon Society Field Trip – All Are Welcome

Leaders: Sarah Schmidt and Steve Ellis. Meet at 9 a.m. at the north end of West Beach parking lot, Deception Pass State Park. We’ll bird beach and lake. We hope to see hundreds of Red-throated Loons gathering to feed in the outflowing current of Deception Pass. Bring a spotting scope if you have one. Depending on weather and interest, we will end about noon, with a possible stop at Dugualla Bay on the way back toward Oak Harbor. You might want to bring water, a snack or a hot drink. Dress warmly and prepare for wind. We won’t do much walking. Drivers will need a Discover Pass to park. Questions: contact Sarah Schmidt, at 4bats@ixoreus.com or call/text 360-929-3592.
