Note: This trip was originally scheduled for Saturday, February 7, but will now be held on Sunday, February 8, 2026.

Come birding with the Columbia Audubon Society on an afternoon trip to Twin Lakes Recreation Area and Forum Nature Area! Birds we could encounter include waterfowl, herons, gulls, raptors, kingfishers, woodpeckers, yellow-rumped warblers, and sparrows. Starting at 2 PM from the main parking lot for Twin Lakes (map here), we will walk the 2-mile loop around the larger lake. We estimate we will spend about an hour at Twin Lakes. After birding Twin Lakes, we will return to the parking lot, and anyone who is interested is welcome to join us and continue birding at the adjacent Forum Nature Area. Trails in both areas are flat with a gravel surface.
