The Bird Days of Summer: Birds & Bevvies at Topaz Farm *FULL*

Experience birding Topaz Farm on Sauvie Island!

On this night for beginner bird watchers, we will have special access to explore Topaz Farm, in areas typically not open to the public. We’ll end the night with a round of bird trivia and gather for great drinks and farm food for purchase.
