Greetings on a wet Friday in April. Several folks have worked with the City
of Colville to regain access to the wastewater treatment ponds for birding.
Two of us have keys and can access Monday-Friday, 7:00am to 3:00pm. Access
for spring migration is now into the first week of May. We will have access
again last week of July to early September for fall shorebird migration.
I am planning on being available the next couple of Fridays to escort
birders (by our agreement with the City). You need to let me know ahead of
time if you’ll be coming. I’ll have waiver forms for each person to sign.
No pets. No one under age 18. Meet up is at the waste water plant office
located at 353 S Louis Perras Rd, Colville, WA 99114.
We walk in , about 100-300 yds to view the ponds. During spring be ready
for a little mud (not much really) on the first part of the walk in.
If you want to try a different day M-Th, let me know and I will see if the
other person with a key is available.
Today’s list. No shorebirds yet, not much exposed mud. One late Trumpeter
Swan (unusual).
