Field Trip: Fernhill for Beginners with Stefan Schlick *FULL*

Join Stefan for a 1 mile loop around Fernhill Wetlands. We will look at everything, but our focus is on the basics of the birds that are present. Waterfowl is most abundant, but there also should be some raptors, little birds and maybe shorebirds. Don’t forget to bring binoculars; that’s all you are going to need.

How do you decide whether this field trip is right for you: If you have seen a Lincoln’s Sparrow before, you are way beyond the level for this class and you will be bored. If you don’t know what a Lincoln’s Sparrow is, this walk is definitely right for you. If you’ve heard about Lincoln’s Sparrow, but have never seen one, you may be in the right class as well!

Trip limited to 10 participants. 

This outdoor program will follow all physical distancing and safety protocols dictated by the Oregon Health Administration. Masks required. Please feel free to bring your own spotting scope if you have one. Scroll down for details.
