Owls by Day in Walla Walla with Stefan Schlick
Join Portland Audubon on a unique self-catering winter trip to see owls by day in the Walla Walla area!
We’ll explore the unique habitat along the Columbia River, adjacent to the Blue Mountains on this self-catering winter trip to see owls by day in the Walla Walla area. We will visit birdy places like Deschutes River Park, the John Day Dam, and Arlington and McNary National Wildlife Refuges, targeting Barrow’s Goldeneye. This area is also known for having a robust wintering hawk population with possibilities of Prairie Falcon and Ferruginous Hawk.
Lastly, of course, we will also search the best owl sites in Walla Walla, looking for day-roosting owls such as Great Horned, Barn, Northern Saw-Whet, Northern Pygmy, and Long-eared Owls.
