I will be leading our annual MRVAC spring warbler field trip to Hok-si-lah this Saturday morning come rain or shine. We meet at the parking lot at 7:30am. If you are late, look for us on the trails to the south. Dress for the weather and bring a lunch. We will be hiking to Sand Point before or after lunch. No need to call for reservations, the trails are wide and accommodating. If the group is large, we will splinter into smaller groups. All welcome at no charge.
In recent years we had a Summer Tanager that greeted the group and then sat around until it made sure that it had seen everyone. One year it was a particularly cold day. Not a great day for warblers finding food. They all had to come down to the ground in the early morning. We all gathered around a fiery Blackburnian Warbler as it hopped in the middle of our tight circle totally unconcerned with our presence. While it would come within a foot of my prone body, it always went around me rather than over me.
