Sunday Morning Bird Walk: Winter Birds of Lake Padden

Curious about the incredible winter bird species we have here in Bellingham? Join professional naturalist and experienced birder Kate Brown for a relaxed Sunday morning bird walk around Lake Padden. We will chat about what to look and listen for while birding, discuss some of the common wetland species we are likely to spot and what makes them unique- then set out with our binoculars and scope to see what amazing birds we can spot! Bring your coffee, donuts, and any binoculars you might have (I own a few to share!) Species commonly sighted here include diver winter ducks, red-breasted nuthatch, brown creepers, woodpeckers, and bald eagles.

Accessibility Note: We will be meeting at the covered pavilion near the playground, accessible using the east entrance to Lake Padden. After turning off Samish Way onto Lake shore drive, continue driving until you can park near the playground- if you hit the dogpark youv'e gone too far. The entirety of the trail is flat packed dirt/gravel, and there are bathroom facilities at the trailhead. Ages16+.
