Participants will explore the entire ridge, looking for species such as partridge, wild turkey, ruffed grouse, sooty grouse, goshawk, Lewis's woodpecker, parus, white-bellied nuthatch, and chipping sparrow.
We all carpool to the event. Meet Burton at Peppers' Arcata at 7:30 a.m. or at Lord Ellis Summit at 8 a.m. For more information, please email your trip leader at shrikethree@gmail.com.

Everyone will meet at the Arcata Marsh Interpretive Center at 2 p.m. Please bring your own bicycle. The event will be canceled due to heavy rain.
This 90-minute tour focuses on the “three W's of wetlands”: wetlands, wildlife, and sewage treatment.
