Audubon Birding Day: Klickitat River Butterflies & Birds *FULL*
This is a self-driving day trip, and the meeting location is approximately one hour and twenty minutes from Portland. Meet in Lyle, Washington at 7:30 a.m. Stefan will reach out with further details before the trip. Bring lunch and dress for the weather.
We will search for mostly butterflies of the Klickitat River, but also wildflowers, birds, and dragonflies. We are hoping for the rare Goldhunter’s Hairstreak, Great Arctic, Silver-spotted Skipper and California Hairstreak. Our dragonfly target will be the Grappletail. Wahkiacus is a great birding location, and we should have warblers and flycatchers on a 1-mile hike. At Wahkiacus, we will search for Yellow-breasted Chat, Nashville Warbler, and Red-eyed Vireo.
