Field Trip to McNary Wildlife Natural Area

Paul and Judy Treman led nine of us on a great field trip today. Despite a cold wind, we saw many nice birds including bald eagles, black-crowned night herons, wood ducks, a horned grebe and an assortment of other ducks at the wildlife area.  We stopped at the Walla Walla Grain Terminal on the way home.  There were thousands of ducks there, but windy conditions made it difficult to spend much time looking at them.  However, we were able to get looks at canvasbacks, redheads, scaup, western grebes and of course coots. We saw a total of 41 species.  Ginger
