Name: Audubon Birding Day: The North Coast, from Seaside to Astoria with Dan van den Broek *FULL*
Start: 2021-04-23T09:00:00-07:00

We will visit numerous birding hotspots from Seaside to Astoria, looking for loons, grebes and sea ducks migrating off the coast. Black Turnstone, Dunlin, Western and Least Sandpiper are likely as they are heading back to northern breeding grounds. This is a great time to look for migrating passerines as well.

Please dress for the weather. You will drive yourself for the day. Dan will reach out with further details before the trip.

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.
