Introduction to Coastal Shorebirds With Jim Flynn, Master Birder

If you confuse plovers with peeps or have ever despaired at sorting out
all of those long-legged and long-billed brown shorebirds, then sign up
for this introductory level shorebird class and learn how to make sense
of the muddle of mud-probing shorebirds.

Slides and information sheets on habitat, season of occurrence, size,
and overall shape of shorebirds will help you narrow the choices to the
one or two most likely species. From there the final ID is within reach!
During the field trip to Grays Harbor and Tokeland we will see most of
the common coastal shorebirds in their colorful breeding plumages.

Jim Flynn is a graduate of Seattle Audubon?s Master Birder Program and
has been birding in Washington for over 20 years. Jim also wrote the
bird sightings column for Rainier Audubon for five years and has taught
classes for several chapters and has led numerous field trips throughout
the state.
