November birding is often good on our local trails, particularly at Fort Flagler (https://parks.wa.gov/sites/default/files/2024-04/Fort%20Flagler%20Overview%20Map%204-4-24%20Approved%20Web.pdf). Meet at the first parking lot on the left as you enter Fort Flagler State Park at 9:00 AM. You will need a Discover Pass to park. We will walk the East Searchlight Trail and the Lagoon Trail. These trails pass through coniferous forests and alder where we will learn birding by ear, which is Jackie’s specialty. We will then walk Wansboro Road to the beach and look for seabirds, followed by the nearby grasslands for shorebirds.  Expect to walk about 3 miles and 2.5 hours total. Bring binoculars and be prepared for weather. Trip Leader Jackie Canterbury: RSVP Text 307-763-1953.
