Bird Walk (Red-throated Loons) - Deception Pass

Deception Pass State Park
-
Event location: West Beach, Deception Pass State Park

No registration required. 

Join staff and volunteers from the Whidbey Audubon Society for a special Bird Walk and hopefully see hundreds of Red-throated Loons gathering to feed!

Bird Walks are designed as 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 and/or scopes, but we will have a few on hand to borrow. All walks are offered in partnership with the Whidbey Audubon Society. 

Depending on weather and interest, Whidbey Audubon volunteers might also visit Dugualla Bay on the way back toward Oak Harbor.

Duration: 10:00AM - 12:00PM

Location: West Beach, Deception Pass State Park
