This field trip is part of Eastside Audubon’s Birdathon fundraiser. A donation of $25 or more is encouraged to support the conservation, education, and advocacy work of this chapter.

Join us for our annual trip to The Nisqually NWR in Thurston County which offers a diverse combination of habitats and birds. The delta is bounded by rivers on each side with marshes, deciduous woods and open areas. Spring migrants should be arriving to join regulars such as woodpeckers and Great Horned Owls. A variety of waterfowl and raptors should be present as well. Make your gift online (https://conta.cc/2UGGugs) or bring $25 cash or check day of event.

Meet before 7:30 a.m. at north end of the Wilburton Park & Ride (I-405, exit 12) to carpool. Bring a lunch and dress for the weather. Carpool cost $12/passenger.
