Subject: Columbia Audubon Society upcoming field trips
Lots of field trip opportunities are on the Columbia Audubon Society calendar for the spring! Everyone is welcome to participate; CAS membership is not required. For full details, please see the CAS website (link at the end of the email).

The full list of field trips is below, but we’d like to draw special advance attention to the pair of activities related to Birding Big Day. The event on the evening of Wednesday May 7 at Logboat Brewery will act as a planning session to match up folks to go out birding in various places on Birding Big Day, Saturday May 10. Our hope is that folks of various experience levels can team up, and we know that many MOBIRDS readers would be great mentors. We hope to see you there!
