May 2023 Bird Walk

Meet at 8 AM at the North Potholes Reserve, in the parking area with the restroom. Bring your Discover Pass and binoculars. All ages welcome. No dogs please. We plan to walk about 2 miles or so during the event. We will be standing, watching and listening for birds much of the time. A diversity of bird species are to be found: Ducks, Eagles, Great Blue Heron, Cormorants, Flickers, Hawks, Swallows, and more! Maybe Pelicans and shorebirds depending on the water level. We will see the state’s largest wading-bird rookery, with estimates of hundreds of nesting pairs. Experienced birders will be along to assist in bird ID.

WDFW North Potholes Reserve: accessed off I-90 Exit 174 just west of Moses Lake. Turn onto S Frontage Road and go west 2.5 miles to Road D.5/un-named (look for green signs reading Public Fishing and Hunting). Turn left and go about 2.6 miles,…
