March-April 2010 Admiralty Audubon Field Trips
Important: Please pre-register by contacting field trip leader before trip so we can contact you about changes. Everyone is welcome, including non-members and beginners.
Saturday, March 13: Around Indian and Marrowstone Islands. Dan Waggoner will lead a trip from Oak Bay County Park to the parks on Indian and Marrowstone Islands. It’s a good time in this early spring to see water birds gathering to migrate north and early warblers showing in the woodlands. Meet Dan at Oak Bay Park at 8:30 a.m. or at the Port Townsend Park and Ride at 8 a.m. to carpool.
Saturday, March 27, 7:40 am: Sea birds from the Port Townsend ferry and ducks at Crocket Lake. Walk on the 8 a.m. Port Townsend-to-Keystone ferry. Search for Admiralty Inlet sea birds from the deck of the ferry and spend the morning around Crockett Lake at Keystone and Ebey National Wildlife Refuge. Bring enough money for ferry tickets and a lunch if desired. Return on the 12:00 noon ferry. Meet at the ferry terminal in time to buy a ticket for the 8 a.m. ferry. Leader David Gluckman.
Saturday, April 3, 1 pm (low tide): Point Wilson to Point Hudson Walking Trip. Ron Sikes will lead a walking trip along the beach at low tide looking at birds and sea life of various types. Carpooling for return transportation will be
arranged. Meet at the tip of Point Wilson.
Saturday, April 17: Anderson Lake. Search for early-arriving migrant and beginning breeding birds on the forest trails adjacent to the lake. We will scope the lake itself, then move west to the overland deeper forest on a circular route that should be completed by 11 a.m. Bring a snack and water. (We are not going around the lake, since that trail is unmaintained and hazardous in parts.) Participants leaving from Port Townsend can convene at the Park and Ride
parking lot for car pooling at 8:00 a.m. Otherwise meet at parking area at Lake Anderson Park at 8:30 a.m. Contact David Beatty for more information, 575-534-1450 (cell).
Note: A short description of birds seen should be posted under "Sightings" on this website the following day (see link on banner above).
