Inland Northwest Bird Watching Meetup Group

Spokane Audubon Society is partnering with the Inland Northwest Land Conservancy (INLC) to co-lead walks on the Glen Tana Property. February’s walk will be led by INLC docent and birder Brenda Day and Spokane Audubon volunteer Mark Selle. Space is limited, registration is required. For more information and to register go here.

Hike distance will range from 2 to 6 miles on a single-double wide trail, depending on group interest and where bird activity leads us. The pace will be relaxed and observation-focused, with frequent stops for viewing, listening, and learning. Expect a total duration of approximately 2–3 hours.

This is a two-day birding trip hosted by Spokane Audubon Society to Lewiston, Idaho & Clarkston, Washington, leaving Spokane on Friday, Feb 28 and coming back on Sunday, March 1. If you prefer to come in on Friday night or Saturday morning, we can work out a rendezvous point.
We will caravan/carpool from Spokane and then to the birding hotspots of the area and could see 50 species or more, including hundreds of ducks, many at close range, including Wood Ducks, Common and Barrow’s Goldeneye, Ringnecks, Bufflehead and Gadwall. In addition, we often see American Kestrel, Peregrine Falcon, Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch, a variety of gull species, and White Pelicans. We will also be looking for owls, with tips from local experts.
• Be sure to dress appropriately for the weather, boots and rain gear. It can be very windy and wet. All walks will be short and easy, in public parks with restrooms.
• Bring binoculars, scopes and cameras if you have them. If you need to borrow good binoculars, let us know, so we can bring some.
• Overnight stay is optional, and everyone is responsible for their own accommodations. We will announce more details as the time gets closer.

Join Madonna Luers and Woody Myers this Spring to watch the procession of migrating species at Reardan Audubon Lake Wildlife Area just outside the town of Reardan in Lincoln County, just west of Spokane (350 E Railroad Ave Reardan, WA, see map below)

This is an easy, family-friendly gathering starting with a brief introduction to the area and spotting waterfowl species on the lake from the parking lot, then a quarter-mile walk on an ADA-accessible pathway to a viewing blind where scopes will be available to help participants see birds.

Expect to see a variety of ducks, geese and other waterbirds, as well as raptors such as Northern Harrier, Red-tailed Hawk, and Bald Eagle, plus a few songbirds.

No pre-registration required, just show up and stay as long as you wish!
