Andy Stepniewski, author of Birds of Yakima County, will impart much in the way of botanical tidbits as these relate to birds. He will emphasize the relationships between such birds as Horned Larks, Sage Sparrows, Sage Thrashers, Brewer's Sparrows, Sage Grouse, and Vesper Sparrows and the preferred habitats of each within this unique mosaic of plant communities.  He will also touch on conservation issues.

Two leaders will conduct the day-long field trip to the Columbia Basin! where we will look for the birds amidst spectacular wildflowers.
