Ediz Hook and Port Angeles Harbor

November 28, 2024 by Jennifer Waters-White

Saturday, April 12, 2025 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Location: Ediz Hook – Port Angeles

Price: $40.00
Trip Leader: Judy Mullally

Port Angeles Harbor, surrounded on its north side by Ediz Hook, provides shelter for many species of waterfowl, alcids, gulls, grebes, loons, and cormorants. It is one of the best places to see beautiful Harlequin Ducks up close, and to compare all three species of roosting cormorants (Pelagic, Double-crested, and Brandt’s). We will look for Black Scoters and Long-tailed Ducks swimming on the north side in the Strait. April is also a good month to see Marbled Murrelets and Rhinoceros Auklets swimming within the harbor. We will stop at the best places at the Hook and around the harbor, depending on birds.  Some short walking at viewpoints; we may carpool to facilitate parking. Dress in layers for warmth and rain protection if needed. Meet by the restrooms near the tip of Ediz Hook (across from the small grove of pine trees near the entrance to the Coast Guard base).
