Join other bird nerds on this active outing to Oregon’s smallest lighthouse, located at the northern tip of Sauvie Island. As we hike along the river and through a rich, cottonwood forest, we’ll be keeping our ears and eyes open for a wide variety of raptors, waterbirds, woodpeckers and nesting songbirds. Sturdy hiking shoes and plenty of water are a must.
7 miles round trip on dirt trails with little to no elevation change. Pace will be moderate; we’ll stop frequently to observe birds, plants and other wildlife. Trail is part sun, part shade. Restrooms available at parking lot.

Join Portland Audubon’s Education and Conservation Team for The Bird Days of Summer, a series of free, 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.
