Field Trip Program Update – April 2026

by Marie Grad 

There are two OPAS field trips scheduled for April. Gary Bullock is leading the trip to Dungeness Landing County Park and the 3 Crabs restoration area on the 4th from 8:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. The focus will be on wintering waterfowl and shorebirds in Dungeness Bay.

Then on April 26th, Kathy McCoy is leading a field trip to the mouth of the Elwha River. The trail from the parking area out to the straits has excellent habitat for a variety of bird species. Once you are at the mouth of the river the focus shifts to the ducks, gulls and shorebirds.

Details and sign-up information for both these field trips can be found on the OPAS website Events Calendar .

When you register for a field trip on our website now, you will be notified of our liability disclaimer.
