The Bird Days of Summer: Sitka Sedge Plover Hike (Oregon Coast)

Join Portland Audubon Coastal Community Science Biologist, Allison Anholt and learn about the endangered snowy plover life history, conservation challenges and habitat. There will be good opportunities to view plovers and other birds at Sitka Sedge State Natural Area, located just north of Pacific City in southern Tillamook County.

Walks last 2-3 hours and involve walking on uneven, sandy terrain. We will have a scope but please consider bringing your own binoculars, as well as water and appropriate footwear.

Join Portland Audubon’s Education and Conservation Team for The Bird Days of Summer, a series of super beginner-friendly programs for anyone curious about birds in nature. We’re combining community-building, exploration, and fun to create safe spaces for people to get to know each other as well as the birds. Binoculars will be provided, and we’ll begin each program with a short “how-to” to help you get started.
