Neppel Landing Park	x
HABITAT:	2.5-acre municipal park on Moses Lake.
BIRDING:	Spring migrants include Yellow and Yellow-rumped Warblers. Early nesting Wood Ducks may be seen. An abundance of Common Mergansers and a few Hooded Mergansers stay through winter. In fall, ducks congregate in large numbers: Mallards, Gadwalls, American Wigeons, Ring-necked Ducks, Redheads, Buffleheads, and Canvasbacks. This is a good site for gulls, especially California, Herring, and Ring-billed Gulls, with the occasional Thayer’s, Bonaparte’s, and Glaucous Gulls mixed in.
VIEWING:	On Moses Lake, watch for gulls and mergansers. Trees host resident Downy Woodpeckers, Belted Kingfishers, and migrating warblers and vireos of numerous species. The 2.5-mile Marina Dr pedestrian/bicycle path at park’s south end provides more birding locations: view Western Grebes in spring and Bald Eagles in winter.
ACCESS:	From I-90, take exit 176 (Moses Lake). Turn northeast onto Hwy 171/West Broadway. Drive 2.5 miles. Turn left (north) onto Ash St. Drive 1 block and turn right to parking lot.
