Morning Bird Song Walk May 27, 2011

Audubon Society of Portland is proud to sponsor the 2011 season of weekday-morning Bird Song Walks! From beginners to advanced birders, anyone who is fascinated by the sounds of birds should take advantage of these volunteer-guided walks to the metro area's prime spring migration hot-spots. By starting with the earliest trips you can become familiar with the songs of the common resident species and then keep pace with the migrants as they arrive. All Walks begin at 7 a.m. No pre-registration required. Leave whenever you like. Bring your binoculars and a field guide and be sure to dress properly for the weather. Spring mornings can be surprisingly chilly. Pittock Mansion--3229 NW Pittock Drive, Portland, OR 97210 Leader: Wink Gross.
