Audubon Birding Day: Advanced Waterfowl Identification in Tillamook County

Waterfowl are an easy entry point to birding, but also contain some real ID challenges! On this full-day, van-based trip, we’ll explore various habitats in the Tillamook Bay, as well as some open ocean and grassy habitats, working on the IDs of confusing ducks and geese, as well as their lookalikes, like loons, grebes, and cormorants. We’ll also discuss strategies for finding different species, and using behavior and habitat to aid in identification.

Join us for The World of Waterfowl Digital Class Series

Take what you learn in this series of waterfowl classes out and into the field! Just in time for the return of millions of wintering waterfowl, this three-part series of standalone classes provides everything you need to know to understand and identify the multitude of different Oregon waterfowl.
