Adult Programs

International Ecotours
Trips vary in geographic destinations and provide an opportunity to get close to nature while exploring and learning about new habitats. Your travel dollar supports Portland Audubon while you do some excellent bird watching and wildlife viewing.

Domestic Ecotours
Explore exciting destinations in the U.S. while supporting our education programs. We travel by 15-passenger van from our starting location and explore the best birding and natural areas.

Classes: Birding and Natural History
Classes are offered throughout the year and are taught by experienced birders and naturalists. Birding: we have class/field trip offerings that focus on raptors, sparrows, waterfowl, beginning birding and birding by ear, as well as class-only offerings focused on a particular group of birds. Natural history: look for classes focused on plants, animal tracking, wildflowers, butterflies and dragonflies, among other subjects.
