Join the Vancouver Audubon Society for the first of the month birding walk!

Vancouver Lake flushing channel's east end (park at the roadside lot). We have a flexible starting time, since we hope to begin the morning with scanning and scoping the lake from the flushing channel for some fun waterbirds. As everyone gathers, we can start walking the Vancouver Lowlands’ trail into Vancouver Lake Regional Park, where we should be able to find many of our wintering passerines. This park often provides close views of many of the small birds that form winter feeding flocks.

Park in the roadside gravel parking area or in the small parking lot on the north side of the rowing club’s boathouse. Just wander down the short trail on the south side of the mouth of the channel to find the group. This winter walk will be weather-dependent!

Please contact me if you plan to join the walk and watch your email or check the website if extreme weather is expected on that day.

Most of the trail will be paved or graveled path, but the short trail to the viewing point at the flushing channel is a dirt trail along a mild grassy slope. If you think you may want to step off the trail in any location, plan on footwear for wet vegetation.
