SUMMARY:West Rocky Prairie Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Date: Saturday\, April 25th\, 2026 \nTime: 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. \nCo-leaders: Will Beattie and Drew Walker \nContact: Please contact Drew Walker to register for this trip at: drewjwalker98@gmail.com \nDescription:\nBirding at West Rocky Prairie will begin from the parking lot off 143rd Ave SE; visitors pass through a gate\, then must walk north for 1.0 mile along a two-track road through mixed conifer-deciduous forest and a lovely grove of alder near the end before reaching the prairie. At the beginning of the prairie\, the road splits and forms a large rectangular 2-mile loop that roughly follows the boundaries of the prairie and provides plenty of access for birding. Prairie wildflowers should be starting to bloom around this time. The habitat provides opportunities to see many prairie and oak woodland species such as raptors\, Savannah Sparrows\, Western Bluebirds and other migrant birds.  We should also see a number of other resident birds. This guided walk is appropriate for beginning and intermediate birders. \nOther information:  \nA Discover Pass is required for parking. The parking lot is small and can only accommodate about five cars so please email trip leaders to coordinate parking. There are no restrooms onsite. Don’t forget to watch for native prairie plants while visiting. This walk is not wheel-chair accessible. \nBring: Binoculars\, water\, lunch/snacks\, warm jacket\, camera (optional)\, spotting scope (optional). \nPhoto credit: Savannah Sparrow at West Rocky Prairie by Rachel Holland.
