Audubon Kiosk Overlook |
|
||
HABITAT: |
Shopping center – unusual but excellent vantage point for Moses Lake and mud flats. | ||
| BIRDING: | Winter’s low water and partially frozen lake surface concentrate thousands of ducks and geese into open water. All birders can easily spot resident Great Blue Herons and Western and Least Sandpipers migrating through in early spring and late fall, and Killdeer and Dunlins visiting in winter. | ||
VIEWING: |
Use binoculars or set up scope near Central Basin Audubon Society kiosk to see Belted Kingfishers, shorebirds, wading birds, and waterfowl. | ||

Turn right (east) at Valley Rd stoplight into shopping center, and immediately right (southeast) again. Drive 0.1 mile through parking lot to lakeside kiosk on left. | ||
