OCEAN PARK, Wash. — Organizers of Wings Over Willapa, the annual Long Beach Peninsula birdwatching and wildlife educational program, have canceled all this year’s in-person activities because of the pandemic.

However, an online auction fundraiser will go ahead as planned. Bids will be accepted from Saturday until Sept. 24. Money raised will benefit the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge in south Pacific County.
