Leaders: Fran Haywood and Alan McCoy

Trip Description:  This all-day trip is geared toward all levels of birders. We don't know yet how long this trip will last nor do we know exactly where we will go. Weather and the quality of the birding will determine how long we go. We will check out eBird the evening before to check for rarities that we may want to pursue. But possible stops include Slavin Ranch, Marshall and Cheney wetlands, Philleo Lake, Turnbull NWR, Reardan's Audubon Lake, Sprague Lake and others.

Come Prepared For: inclement weather as it is always colder than we want; bring snacks, water, and lunch. 

Contact: Fran by phone (509) 290-1814 or email birders13@gmail.com, or Alan by phone (509) 999-9512 or email ahm2352@gmail.com to register for the trip.  

Where and When to Meet: We will meet in the parking lot of Slavin Ranch Conservation Area (12900 S Keeney Rd, Spokane WA 99224) at 7:15 am and will begin hiking at 7:30. Limit for the day is 4 cars so we may need to carpool leaving some cars in the Slavin parking lot.

Target Species:
Waterfowl of all kinds, raptors, early shorebirds, migrants, vagrants and other oddities.
