Stillwater Unit (between Duvall and Carnation), Saturday May 7th
$25 donation to Eastside Audubon for Bird-A-Thon
Registration closes on May 5th
This field trip is open to all. Beginners are welcome. Children 10+ are permitted if accompanied by a parent/guardian. The pace for this walk will be leisurely to moderate, on the packed gravel of the Snoqualmie Valley Trail, and the distance covered will be roughly 3 miles. We can hope to see plenty of swallows, woodpeckers, warblers and wrens on this stretch of the Snoqualmie Valley Trail. This time of year, we may get to see nesting Bullock's orioles and wood ducks, or glimpse a marsh wren and lazuli bunting. If we're really lucky, we could spot a Virginia rail, northern bittern, and even a loggerhead shrike!
Meet at the Stillwater Unit’s main parking area, on the west side of SR 203 (Duvall-Carnation Road), north of the Stillwater gas station and Kelly Road. There are no benches or portable toilets available (McCormick Park in Duvall has a public restroom and Tolt-McDonald Park in Carnation has portable toilets, and there are good coffee shops in both towns).
Discover pass required for parking; not sold on site.
