Wednesday, March 12th, 8:00AM
BP Wetlands
Leader: Bob Huntington
This is a new area for us although Bob has been surveying the wetlands for a while. These wetlands are not
generally open to the public so this is a special opportunity.
We expect to see waterfowl and maybe some
early shorebirds.
We’ll meet at 8am in the SE corner of
the Shopko Parking lot in Sugarhouse for a morning of
birding.
Call Bob (595-8748) if you plan to attend or for more
information.

Field trips have to be planned well in advance.
Occasionally we have to cancel a trip, or location or times change.
Therefore it is important to confirm details with the leader.
Beginners and guests are always welcome on Audubon field trips.
For more information
contact Deedee O'Brien at d-dobrien@comcast.net
or Sylvia Gray at pdggray@xmission.com
We encourage carpooling on our field trips. Contributions towards
gas money would be appreciated. For local trips, under 40 miles
round trip, we suggest $3 per person and for round trips over 40 miles
we suggest $5 per person.
