Shorebird migration is in full swing in late July. Join Bob Boekelheide to scan the bay and mudflats for shorebirds, gulls, and water birds that use the mudflats and estuary near the mouth of the Dungeness River.

After hopping a few beach logs at Three Crabs beach and after surveying birds there, the group will travel to Dungeness Landing County Park on Oysterhouse Rd off Marine Drive. Dungeness Landing Park is accessible to all. If you have a spotting scope, bring it.

Participant limit is 15 and registration is required. Learn more and register at https://olympicpeninsulaaudubon.org/events-calendar/dungeness-bay-shorebirds-gulls-waterbirds
