Audubon Birding Day: Klickitat River Butterflies & Birds with Stefan Schlick *FULL*

The timing is perfect to look for the rare Goldhunter’s Hairstreak at the Klickitat River. It is also the best time to look for butterflies there generally, often yielding over 20 species. Wahkiacus is a great birding location, and we should have warblers and flycatchers on site on a 1-mile hike. Nashville Warbler, Gray Flycatcher, and Yellow-breasted Chat can all be found in this canyon. The general area is also great for oak birds, Ash-throated Flycatcher and Lewis’s Woodpecker. 

We will meet in Lyle, WA at 7:00 a.m. Stefan will reach out with further details before the trip. Bring lunch and dress for the weather. You will drive yourself for the day.

Trip limited to 10 participants. 

This outdoor program will follow all physical distancing and safety protocols dictated by the Oregon Health Administration. Masks required. Please feel free to bring your own spotting scope if you have one. Scroll down for details.
