The Bird Days of Summer: Bird Malheur HQ (Harney County)

These family-friendly bird walks start at the deck at Malheur HQ and casually wander along the paved path down to Marshall Pond and back up to the lawn area. If time and interest allows, we’ll also walk up the Overlook Trail (a short trail to an overlook of Malheur Lake). We’ll keep an eye out for American White Pelicans flying their aerial ballet, baby Red-tailed Hawks and Great Horned Owls, and myriad other songbird species.

*These are family friendly bird walks, designed to be inclusive of children of all ages, and families of all kinds. We’ll include fun activities for the young and young-at-heart.
