Feel free to take part in one or both components of the afternoon’s activities:

Part 1: Field trip to Stephens Lake Park (2:30 p.m. to ~3:20 p.m.)

Meet at the upper parking lot  (near the playground), accessed from Broadway, for a short birding session at Stephens Lake Park. We expect to see wintering and resident songbird species, along with woodpeckers, though there are no guarantees when birding! The trail is mostly flat and paved. Expect to walk 1 to 1.5 miles. Led by Ben West.

Part 2: Social at Logboat Brewing Company (3:30 to ~5:00 p.m.)

Hang out with birders and discuss birds (plus nature in general, geology, and more)! Perhaps there will be gossip about goldfinches. Or chat about chats.

Swallow some beer if you desire, but non-drinkers are equally welcome at this family friendly venue. Beer, hard cider, and non-alcoholic options are available from Logboat. Food trucks are sometimes an option, and bringing your own food/water is always allowed.

Wren you’re there, time may fly swiftly, and you’ll have no egrets.

We’ll hope to grab a table outdoors on the upper deck, but if you don’t see us there, take a gander. For those new to the group, clues to identify us include bird-themed table decorations.
