This field trip is for the novice birder, someone with little or no birding experience. It includes a combination of instruction and field time. Trip leaders Lori and Antonio will first cover topics such as birding etiquette, bird identification, using field guides, birding apps and binoculars before heading out into the park for a bird walk. At the conclusion there will be time for Q&A. This trip is a good primer before heading out on your own or joining other Audubon field trips.
This event is not suitable for young children, children 10+ are permitted if accompanied by a parent/guardian. The trip is free but limited to 8 people. Meet time is 7:30am at the Rotunda at the Tibbitts Beach parking lot. The Tibbitts Beach parking lot is the first parking lot on the left as you enter the park from NW Sammamish Road.
