Birding Mason County

We will start the morning at Potlatch State Park, meeting at the entrance and parking area along U.S. 101 at 9:00 AM. A Discover Pass is required to park at Potlatch State Park. From the parking area we will scan Hood Canal for waterfowl. This location often has good numbers of multiple grebe species, as well as scoters, loons, and a variety of ducks.
Next, we will drive to Hunter Farms where there is potential to observe multiple species of raptors and numerous passerine species, including flocks of blackbirds. The flooded farms fields often attract a variety of waterfowl and gulls as well. We can walk the publicly accessible areas of the farm.
Pace – Leisurely (meandering, many breaks to stop and observe); Terrain – Soft ground, sand gravel, dirt roads; Walking Distance = No more than a mile at each stop.
