Great Washington State Birding Trail Maps

Audubon Washington has the first four of a planned seven Great Washington State Birding Trail maps available. Along the Great Washington State Birding Trail, you’ll find the best places for the best bird watching in the Evergreen State. The first four routes, the Olympic Loop, the Cascade Loop, the Coulee Corridor and the Southwest Loop feature sites for birders, novice to expert, to find our feathered friends in every season.

The full-color maps feature original artwork of birds along the routes, plus descriptions of habitat, access, and when to go. Audubon Washington is proud to work with many private partners and public agencies on the trail, which will eventually cover the whole state.  Their next map will be for Southeast Washington. Details can be found on their website at http://wa.audubon.org/birds_GreatWABirdingTrail.htm .

The maps are just $4.95 each, plus shipping and handling, and are available on-line through Seattle Audubon at
