Chehalis-Harrison River Eagle Watch

Chehalis-Harrison River Eagle Watch

Come on November 19, 9:30-1200 to observe the large number of Bald Eagles that congregate on the flats at the outlet of the Chehalis River.  Besides eagles expect to see herons, several species of waterfowl (this is a hotspot for the Gadwall), Trumpeter and possibly Trunda Swans, loons, and grebes.  Register in advance with Ken Summers (ken.summers@telus.net)–you will be notified of any changes.  Dress for the weather. We’ll be mostly on level gravel trails, but there may be short off-trail excursions for those who wish (boots recommended for the latter).

Meet at the lookout parking lot at 0930.  There will be no organized car-pooling, but participants can arrange their own or come in your own vehicles.  Head east along the Lougheed Highway from Mission and turn off onto Morris Valley Road at the Sasquatch Inn.  Proceed past the Sandpiper golf course/Rowena’s Inn; the parking lot is the first driveway on the right (after crossing a creek). Depending on your starting location, allow 45 minutes to drive.
