REGISTRATION IS FULL FOR BOTH BIRDWALKS. Please watch for upcoming reports on the birds observed on these walks and for future FORC events.
We our bringing back our popular birdwalks through Ravenna Park. Join our neighbor Woody Wheeler, Birding and Natural History Guide, for two bird walks in May. These two-hour bird walks coincide with peak Neotropical bird migration to this area so the park should be alive with bird song and activity! Past participants noted that Woody is informative and entertaining. Sign up early as these walks fill up quickly.
This year, the walks will be on Saturday, May 23 and Saturday, May 30 from 8-10 am. We will meet at the traffic circle at 17th NE and NE Naomi Place.
RSVP on the link below. Each group will be limited to 15 people, and a donation of $10 is requested per person (either on-line or in person).
Dress for the weather, bring binoculars and good walking shoes for a 1.5 mile walk along the rim, down and back up the ravine. (Please leave your dogs at home).
Over 100 species of birds have been tallied at Ravenna Park in the past decade. Species of special interest are those that require mature forest habitat, such as: Barred Owl, Cooper’s Hawk, Pacific Wren, Pileated Woodpecker, and Western Tanagers. We will search for these birds along with other resident birds and spring migrants including Black-headed Grosbeak and Wilson’s Warbler.
