This will be a field trip searching Fir Island for raptors, snow geese, trumpeter swans, ducks and any other interesting birds that happen to be around. Raptors might include bald eagles, rough-legged hawks, northern harriers, red-tailed hawks, American kestrels, short-eared owls, and other, less common species such as gyrfalcons and merlins.

The trip will begin and end at the Alger Park & Ride, I-5 Exit 240. We will carpool in three cars while we search for birds. Bring water, hot beverages, snacks and lunch to eat on the run. Dress to keep dry and warm and bring binoculars and a spotting scope if you happen to have one.
