TUESDAYS: Bird Song Walks at Wilkes Creek
Join members of our Conservation and Adult Education Teams at Wilkes Creek! This new location is the epicenter of Bird Alliance of Oregon’s Greening Wilkes Initiative.
In collaboration with Friends of Trees, Verde, Columbia Slough Watershed Council, and Portland Parks and Recreation, we’re working with the community surrounding the Wilkes Creek Headwaters in outer East Portland to restore and enhance the area’s greenspaces, engage the community in activities to increase climate resilience and deepen the community’s growing connection to this evolving green space. And we’ll enjoy the birds at this unique greenspace! The mix of habitat types made this one of our birdiest walks, with loads of migrants like MacGillivray’s Warbler, Dusky Flycather, and Lazuli Bunting. Come check it out with us!
