The New Start Time for our 4/25 field trip to Oysterville West Beach Access and Leadbetter Point State Park is 10:15 am, instead of 8:30 am. The reason for the change is to better align with the feeding of the shorebirds. If we start at 8:30 am, we hit Oysterville too early and with the higher water, the birds will be dispersed. We would also arrive at Willapa Bay before the flats are exposed and we will miss the peak feeding concentration window. More info about this field trip is available here.
