Methow Valley & Okanogan
July 6-8 (Tues-Thurs) 5:30 a.m. to early evening, Limit: 8 in three cars

Leader: Brian H. Bell

We will work our way east on SR20, over Washington Pass and down to the Methow Valley. We will stay the first night in Twisp, and will bird some more Methow Valley spots the next morning. We will likely then work our way over the Okanogan Mts and down into the Okanogan Valley and stay in Omak. The next morning we will explore some of the good birdy places before beginning our journey home. We will be especially looking for swifts, warblers and other passerines, grouse, woodpeckers, raptors and waterfowl. These areas are some of the best summer birding areas, particularly at elevation. We will be starting early each day and it will be necessary to pack a lunch. We'll do our best to get to town in time for dinner. Bring your enthusiasm, a scope if you have it. Meet at the south end of the Kingsgate P&R by 5:30 a.m. We will be carpooling to three cars (parking is limited in many of the areas we will be going to. Passenger cost per person $50-60. Call Brian - 425-485-8058 - to reserve your place and get particulars.
