Program: Adaptive Strategies of Shorebirds
Willapa Hills Audubon Society is pleased to announce this year’s annual banquet program. Adaptive Strategies of Shorebirds will be presented at the Longview Women’s Club, 835 21st Ave, Longview, at 7 pm, Friday, March 29, 2024. All are welcome.
Shorebirds are a fun and fascinating group of birds that have adapted to their environment physically, behaviorally, and physiologically to improve their chances at survival. Naturalist David Slater will lead a photo-based discussion to discuss some of these adaptations.
Join us for this investigation into our coastal bird life.
