Since October of 2002 KAS has offered the monthly First Saturday Bird Walk in rain, wind, snow, and sunshine. One need not know anything about birds or nature. Trip leaders and participants will provide some guidance and help with bird ID. All you need is a pair of binoculars and garb for the weather, and kids are welcome. Walking on park paths (pavement to dirt) usually takes about three hours.
August 1 ~ First Saturday Birdwalk, Irene Rinehart Park. Lots of birds out there – the newbies have left their nests and are either learning how to eat or depending on mom & dad. Some join mixed flocks and think about flying south (safety in numbers). We meet at 8 AM at the riverside parking lot and walk for 3+ hours. Contact Steve for details, fieldtrips@kittitasaudubon.org
August 25, Tuesday ~ Potholes Shorebirds. Shorebirds heading southward find good eats on the muddy shores of Potholes Reservoir. We drive to three or four areas to watch with binocs and scopes. 8 AM departure; most-of-a-day trip; bring lunch & sun protection. Please RSVP with Steve M, 509-933-1179 (leave message) or fieldtrips@kittitasaudubon.org
September 5 ~ First Saturday Birdwalk, Irene Rinehart Park. Labor Day weekend. Meet at the riverside parking lot at 8 AM for our loop around the park’s trails.
