Join us for a Bicycle Birding Classic!

Each Autumn/Winter....our temperate Western Washington river deltas are graced with migrant and resident birds of prey. These beautiful hawks, eagles, and falcons are a delight to behold and essential players in the regional biosphere. Here is an opportunity to blend learning their field identification, habitat associations and behavioral ecology with some aerobic exercise! We will safely ride the backroads on Samish and Skagit Flats in search of these wild raptors.

David Drummond, a noted raptor biologist/naturalsit will lead this fun exploration.

When: November 19th (Sat) 8:00 AM (sharp) -3:00 PM

Where: Edison Elementary School parking lot (begin and end here).

Cost: $25.00 - includes friendly guidance, raptor references and spotting scope.

What to bring: A friend, bicycle in good condition, binoculars, warm clothes, lunch with hot beverage, your curiosity and sense of humor!

Please call (360) 671-3804 to register and for information.
