Birds of Whatcom Falls: Saturday Bird Walk Open to All
Curious about birds and the incredible species we have here in the Pacific Northwest? Join professional naturalist and experienced birder Kate Brown for a relaxed Saturday bird walk at Whatcom Falls Park. We will chat about what to look and listen for while birding, discuss some of the common species we are likely to spot in this park and what makes them unique- then meander the trails while birding and chatting. Bring any binoculars you might have (I own a few to share!). This park is frequented by Belted Kingfishers, Osprey and Diverse Songbirds and Ducks.
Where to Find Us: We will be meeting at the Whatcom Falls entrance located at 1401 Electric Avenue, directly across from Lafeen's donuts. This is the entrance used to access the tennis court and pump track. Park in the parking lot near the tennis courts, and find us at a picnic table in the field across from the courts

Birds of Lake Padden: Saturday Bird Walk Open to All
Curious about the incredible birds who call the Pacific Northwest home? Join professional naturalist and experienced birder Kate Brown for a relaxed Saturday 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 double crested cormorants, osprey, bald eagles, and diverse small songbirds.
Accessibility Note: We will be meeting at the WEST entrance of Lake Padden, located off of South Samish Way in betwen 46th and 48th street. Note that this is NOT the main park entrance used to access the dogpark and tennis courts. Once you pull into the Lake Padden West parking lot, park as close to the entrance as possible and find us at a picnic table in the lawn directly in front of the parking lot.

Where to Find Us: We will be meeting at a picnic table just past the playground. Once you drive down the hill (Bayview Ave) into the park, drive past both Wood's coffee AND the playground on your left hand side, and find us in the shade under the trees in the lawn.
