Bird Walk (Deception Pass)

There are currently no future events scheduled.
Spend your Saturday morning exploring Deception Pass State Park and discover some of the common, and not so common, species of birds that call the park home.

Walks are an hour long and are a great opportunity for birders of all levels. Practice bird identification skills, explore unique bird habitats, and learn from other birders. We recommend bringing your own binoculars though we will have a few on hand to borrow.
