## Why go

Halloween morning, spent looking at actual birds instead of trick-or-treat candy. The Park Guide covers the folklore and the superstitions that grew up around the species you're likely to see.

## What happens

Saturday, October 31, 9am to 11am, meeting at the Point Defiance Lodge. Free, and drop-ins are welcome — no sign-up needed.

## Good to know

Costumes are encouraged, not required. Bring your own binoculars; the guides have extras to borrow. The walk covers unpaved, uneven trail for up to two miles, so dress accordingly.
