Trip Report

Ten of us left from the Martin Street trailhead and headed up to Fox Hollow at a leisurely pace, enjoying the trilliums in bloom and the song of the winter wrens along the way. We arrived at the Cascade Raptor Center just after opening, in time to see a few of the birds being fed and a presentation about one of the falcons. Half of today's participants had not been to the Raptor Center before, so this was a good opportunity for them to visit this fascinating center.
