Give thanks for bird life this November while birding together prior to Thanksgiving at Kah Tai Lagoon Nature Park. Emphasis will be on Waterfowl, and we’ll be on the lookout for any late Fall migrants along the way. Seasonal species on the water may include Canada Geese, Mallards, Gadwalls, Buffleheads, Lesser Scaup, Ruddy Ducks, Northern Pintails, American Wigeon, Northern Shovelers, Hooded Mergansers, American Coot and Pied-billed Grebes. Virginia Rails and Great-Blue Herons may be foraging along the water’s edge, while Bald Eagles and varied Hawks may be soaring overhead. Cedar Waxwings, Yellow-rumped Warblers, Wrens and varied Sparrows could feature along our tree-lined path.

Meet in the main parking area near the park caretaker site and bathroom building. Late arrivals are welcome to find the group along the trail, waterside. Best to layer clothing for late Fall weather. Bring binoculars and/or a scope if you have one. Excessive winds, steady rains cancel.

Please help keep our birding community safe and look to join on a future outing if you have COVID or COVIDlike symptoms and/or known exposure … or other flu-like/illness.

Feel free to reach out to trip leader Miranda Maxwell at mlmolympics@hotmail.com with any questions. Looking forward to birding together on a fine Saturday, amidst the season of gratitude.
