Saturday Audubon Bird Walk Union Bay Natural Area




The Seattle Audubon Society is having a two bird walks this weekend, one at nearby Union Bay and the other at Magnuson Park.

Here is information:

Saturday, October 27, 9-11:00am
Union Bay Natural Area
Leaders: Julia Hansbrough
Meeting Point: Center for Urban Horticulture, East Parking Lot (near greenhouses) off NE 41st Street, one block beyond the place where Mary Gates Memorial Drive turns left to becomes NE 41st Street.


Sunday, October 28, 2018 10-2pm
Magnuson Park
Leaders: Carleen Zimmerman (day of trip only, 206-914-3721) and Cinny Burrell (day of trip only, 206-518-4637)
Meeting Point: Magnuson Park, Parking Lot #E, if bad weather, meet at the Promontory Point Environmental Learning Center , red metal-roofed shelter next to the west edge of parking lot #E.

Drawn to Birding in Autumn: A slow-paced, half-day, sketch-crawl. Join Carleen Zimmerman and Cinny Burrell for a unique field trip observing birds during fall migration. Habitat, species behavior and birding-by-ear will be explored. This is an opportunity to get outdoors and sketch from nature with others who are interested in birds and bird habitat. Creating sketch moments to draw observations is not about creating art in the field but more about learning to stop, look and listen. Instruction will be minimal as this is not a “how to sketch in nature class”, but learning and teaching will be shared as in traditional birding field trips. Participants should bring very portable sketching supplies and perhaps a stool (this is an accessible field trip). Binoculars and scopes a plus. Dress for any weather in the Pacific Northwest. No prior artistic skill or talent is required! Carleen is a graduate of Master Birder 2015. Cinny is in the current Master Birder class. Both are experienced birders, Seattle Audubon volunteers and field sketchers.
