THURSDAYS: Bird Song Walks at Fernhill Wetlands
Bird Alliance of Oregon presents:
THURSDAYS: Bird Song Walks at Fernhill Wetlands
Join us two-hour morning Bird Song walk at the beautiful and lively Fernhill Wetlands. In early spring we may expect find a lot of waterfowl preparing to head north for their breeding grounds. We should also expect to hear songbirds singing as they prepare for the breeding season and hopefully, we’ll see some nest building. Throughout the season we can expect to see spring migrants including several warbler and flycatcher species. The loop we will do is about 1.15 miles on a paved trail around Fernhill Lake. We hope to see you there!
Meeting details: We will meet in the covered area near the restrooms above the parking lot.
Join us Thursdays, starting April 10 and ending May 22.
