FR19 North Jetty Sea Watch & Woodley Island – CLASSIC | 2023 | $20

The North Spit provides a variety of birding spots out to the jetty. Here the rocky shore specialists — Surfbird, Black Turnstone, and Wandering Tattler – can be found. Sometimes even a late Rock Sandpiper is still present. If you have a spotting scope, this is an excellent time to bring it for scanning the ocean for seabirds and migrating Pacific Loons. Woodley Island, Vance Road, and the Samoa Bridge harbor nesting egrets, various other waterbird species, and shorebirds. Restrooms available near the North Jetty. A no-host group lunch is planned at the trip’s end at Café Marina on Woodley Island.

MEETING LOCATION: Arcata Community Center, Outside front doors
