Orcas School gets into the spirit of BirdFest!

— from Barbara Jensen, President, San Juan Islands Audubon —

Join SJ Islands Audubon for a field trip on Saturday, April 12th during the first annual Orcas Island Bird and Wildlife Festival.

This morning trip takes us exploring great Orcas locations looking for lingering seabirds, swans and ducks and arriving warblers and other songbirds. This is a superb trip to tune up for spring bird songs. Those new to birding are especially welcome and it’s a wonderful time to see old friends and make some new ones. Meet at the ferry dock at 7:30am -we make sure all the other island ferries have arrived- and we will carpooling. Bring a lunch, binoculars, a favorite bird book and dress for the weather. Trip ends early afternoon.

Stay on Orcas for other BirdFest events in the day! Call Barb Jensen for more field trip info, 378-3068. The festival runs from April 10th – 12th. Get more info on the festival and schedule at: https://www.orcasislandbirdfest.com/
