Hi Tweets & Inland NW Birders
Thought I'd pass along a reminder that the latest WOS field trips are
listed on the website http://wos.org/fieldtrips.htm . WOS members
[and guests of WOS members] are welcome to sign up as long as space
remains [see website for email addresses to sign-up]. Here's what's
up between now and the WOS Conference in July.



Friday through Sunday, June 3-5
Skamania County
Leader: Michael Hobbs

Bird Skamania County during the height of breeding season, with a
focus on passerines, but also targeting some mountain birds. We'll
start in Underwood on Friday, and will try to work our way up to end
in Randall on Sunday. This will be one of my typical trips with lots
of stops and hopefully lots of species. We'll cover a lot of ground
and a lot of habitats, with some walking involved. Limit 11 people
in 4 higher-clearance vehicles. Email Michael for information and/or
to sign up.



Tuesday, June 14
Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge

We'll be looking for any and all birds that are there. Scopes useful,
bring lunch. Limit of 11 in three cars. Call Brian to reserve a spot.
Bring money or passes for the refuge. Back by late afternoon.
