Join Vancouver Audubon trip leader on journey to find gulls!

The winter smelt runs up the Columbia River and tributaries (among others the Cowlitz, Coweeman, Kalama, Lewis) attract their predators, and we can watch the action.

Ten + gull species have been seen over the last several years during peak runs, and other unusual species always turn up. Our dates are Saturday 2/8 and Tuesday 2/18. We will leave from the Ridgefield Park and Ride at 07:30. I hope to recruit co-leaders that are better at gull ID than I am. If the smelt and the gulls aren’t cooperating our birding could include are as of Woodland, Kalama, Meeker Pond, Gerhart Garden Park, the Mint Farm, Willow Grove, and the Longview WTP.
