Trip Leader: Richard Carpenter

No registration required. Meet at parking on east side of Woburn Street just south of Whatcom Creek.

Join Richard on “World Migratory Bird Day” to check out migrant and resident birds along Whatcom Creek from Raptor Reach east  into Whatcom Falls Park. Expect to see chickadees, sparrows, wrens, woodpeckers, towhees, finches, and warblers and other migrants. Also, there might be a raptor or two along this City of Bellingham trail which traverses the fire zone of the 1999  pipeline explosion.
