Thursday, August 28 ~ Potholes Shorebirds. Wading shorebirds returning from Arctic nesting areas visit the muddy shores of Lind Coulee, Perch Point, and Potholes State Park in August-September to feed before continuing south. This is becoming an annual exercise to try to distinguish among the many look-alikes. Field scopes, guidebooks and photos help ID the sandpipers and their kin. Please RSVP with Steve M, 509-933-1179 (leave message), or fieldtrips@kittitasaudubon.org
