Meet at 9:00 a.m. at the north end of West Beach parking lot, Deception Pass State Park for this free field trip to bird the beach and the 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.

Cars need a Discover Pass to park. Trip leaders are Sarah Schmidt and Steve Ellis.

More details to come as the date gets closer.
