<p style="margin:0in">Hi Tweeters,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in">The Joint Base Lewis McChord (JBLM) Eagles Pride Golf Course (GC) birdwalk is scheduled for Thursday, April 20.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in">Much like the Billy Frank Jr., Nisqually FWR (20 years), and Michael Hobbs’s Marymoor birding outings (30 years), the JBLM Eagle’s Pride birdwalk has a celebration – 10 years – this year. In 2013, Dave W, then of JBLM Morale, Welfare,
and Recreation organization, asked me if I’d be interested in leading a birdwalk at the Eagle’s Pride GC. I toured the site with him and I thought this forested area could prove interesting to some folks. Our first formal walk around the area was April 2013,
with just a couple of participants. Now, we have about 10-15 birders every month. In addition, we’ve found 107 species over the years – much to my surprise because I anticipated perhaps 60-70 species would be a likely number given it’s mainly a golf course
built within a typical Northwest forested area. Please join us this month or anytime!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in">The JBLM Eagles Pride GC birders meet the third Thursday of each month <a href="outlook-data-detector://2"><span style="color:#0078D7">at 8:00AM</span></a>. Starting point is Bldg # 1514, Driving Range Tee, Eagles Pride Golf Course, I-5
Exit 116, Mounts Road Exit. <span style="color:#212121">When you turn into the course entrance, take an immediate left onto the road to the driving range – that’s where we meet.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="color:#212121"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="color:#212121">Also, to remind folks that haven’t been here before, you don’t need any ID to attend these birdwalks. Hope you’re able to make it!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">May all your birds be identified,<o:p></o:p></p>
