Fall songbird migration is winding down but mid-October is a prime time to observe staging waterfowl in Collins Bay. Both ruby-crowned and golden-crowned kinglet numbers will be at their peak, as will white-crowned and yellow-throated sparrows; these will be joined by and early-arriving winter sparrows such as tree sparrows and dark-eyed juncos. We will slowly walk several kilometers on flat trails that could be muddy in sections.

Further details TBD – stay tuned!
