Nahkeeta Northwest Presents:
for August-September 2000

Arctic and Resident Shorebirds of the Salish Sea:
from sandpipers to oystercatchers

Shorebird Program Description

Shorebirds pose one of the most challenging avian groups to identify and
study in the field due to their size, cryptic coloration and fast pace
both on foot and on-the wing. This class is offered to anyone
fascinated by the millions of shorebirds in passage and the less
conspicuous resident species of western Washington?s marine shore and
wetlands. We will demystify shorebird identification through the
examination of individual species characteristics, habitat associations,
seasonal occurrence and offer some practical tips to help shorebirding
become enjoyable and rewarding!

Join us for a fun seasonal study of these fast-moving birds through a
4-part series including two classroom and two field sessions. This is
an opportunity to master the skills necessary to identify and understand
the habits and habitats of our resident and migrant shorebirds. The
class is open to beginners to advanced skill levels.
