Field Trip news for December 2025

By Marie Grad 

December is for family and Christmas Bird Counts. Those of us who are lucky enough to live on the Olympic Peninsula can participate in as many as four Christmas Bird Counts during December. Therefore, only one field trip is scheduled in December.

Bob Boekelheide is leading his annual pre-Christmas bird count warm-up. This trip will start at Carrie Blake Park on December 7th at 8:00AM. This is a great opportunity to get tips on identifying, counting and reporting your data.

Trip Details and Registration

Detailed information and registration options for this field trip is available on the Events Calendar of the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society website
