Wildlife Viewing in the Walla Walla Valley
Birding
During the annual spring and fall migrations birders flock to Walla Walla to marvel at the more than 300 bird species that call the area home. The McNary Wildlife Refu
ge and Walla Walla River Delta are two of the best spots to get a glimpse of the migratory birds that return to Walla Walla each year after wintering in South America. The Blue Mountain Audubon Society is a great resource for local birding tips and planned tours.
Join the Blue Mountain Audobon Society on Tuesday mornings at 9:00am for a bird walk at Bennington Lake. It’s fun to see what birds are present at different times of the year and to enjoy the changes of the seasons at the lake. The walks last 2-3 hours. They do not walk in inclement weather. The start time for the walks will change with the seasons. For more information E-mail Ginger Shoemake
