Audubon's International Dark Sky Week Bird Hike
2026-04-18 08:00 - 11:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery, 12790 Fish Hatchery Rd, Leavenworth, WA 98826 US
Step into a spring morning at the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery and explore the riverfront with two guides who make nature come alive. Mark Johnston from NCW Audubon will lead a relaxed hike where you will spot resident birds, early migrants, and learn what to watch for as the seasons change. Along the way, Paul Tomas from the local astronomy club will share how migrating birds use the night sky and how light pollution affects their journey. You will discover simple ways you can help protect both birds and the stars above. We will hike at a slow birders' pace for about 2 miles.

This is a free event!
