Nature Outing Report: Goose Spit, Jan. 28, 2017

On a blustery day, 26 intrepid club members gathered for a birding hike along Goose Spit. Due to the choppy waters on the outside, most of the waterbirds were at the tip of the spit. The group had good looks at Long-tailed Ducks, Greater Scaup, and rafts of scoters. Trip leader Art Martell described various citizen science initiatives in the area including the Coastal Waterbird Survey, Beached Bird Survey, and also described the formation of the Spit by erosion & deposition of sand from Willemar Bluffs.
