The parks and neighborhoods of Bellingham offer birders a wide array of unique habitats to explore. Join other birders each month to discover a new birding hotspot within walking, biking, or bussing distance from downtown Bellingham. This month, we will be exploring Scudder Pond at the east end of Whatcom Falls Park. During migration, Scudder Pond and its surrounding trails fill with waterfowl, warblers, sparrows, swallows, and more. We will meet at the Scudder Pond parking lot. Overflow parking is available at Bloedel Donovan Park across the street from the pond. For those interested in biking, a group will leave from Café Velo downtown at 8:30 AM. For accessibility information, see the Scudder Pond entry on Birdability.org.
Time: 9:30 – 11 AM: Meet at Scudder Pond/Electric Avenue entrance.

The following guidelines are provided for your information from the Washington State Department of Health:
Masks are no longer required in many places, individuals may want to continue to wear a mask for added protection against COVID-19, including those who are immunocompromised, those living with someone immunocompromised, or simply those who may just feel safer wearing a mask. Everyone should assess their own personal risk when making this decision. Additionally, everyone should continue to use COVID-19 prevention measures such as staying up to date on vaccination, handwashing, testing, and staying home when you’re sick.
