Since November of 2002 KAS has offered the monthly First Saturday BirdWalk
whether there be rain, wind, snow, or sunshine. One need not know anything
about birds or nature. Trip leaders and participants will eagerly provide
the knowledge and answer any questions. All you need is a pair of
binoculars and to dress for the weather. Walking on uneven ground takes
two-three hours. Meet at 8:00 AM at the parking lot to Irene Rinehart
Riverfront Park (Ellensburg), located on Umptanum Road where the bridge
crosses the Yakima River. |
