Description
Join retired US Fish and Wildlife Service Biologist Ron Garst for a morning bird-watching walk through The Oregon Garden’s many paths. This walk will be perfect for both \ experienced and novice birders.
“The Oregon Garden lends itself to successful birding because of the diversity of the Garden’s numerous native plants and varieties of nursery stock that attract birds,” Garst said. “Also, the several sizeable areas of native habitats (Oregon white oak, Douglas fir forest, wetlands, ponds, marshes, and open fields and grasses) attract and support many of Oregon’s bird species.” And spring is one of the best times to catch a glimpse.
Sturdy walking shoes or light hiking shoes and weather appropriate outerwear is recommended for participation in this event and, while binoculars are not required, they can be helpful. It is also important to note that, while the pace of the expedition will be leisurely, participants will be on their feet the majority of the time covering an estimated mile of trail.
This event is free for Garden members.
