Botany for Birders: Rose City Flowers with Ryan Gilpin

Join local arborist, ecologist and birder Ryan Gilpin on a series of classes designed to help birders explore the plant world. Every month, Ryan will focus on a particular characteristic of trees (such as leaves or bark) and use that character to understand more about the plant. This session will focus on flowers. Through coupled classroom and field sessions Ryan will help you increase your ability to describe that plant and connect to the natural world around you.

Field Trip: Botany for Birders – Flowering Trees on Mt. Tabor

Mt Tabor is the most frequently birded park in Portland and has some great trees. If the birds are out and active, we will bird the park and practice using as specific of language as possible to describe where we are seeing the birds and how they are interacting with the plants around them. If the birds are quiet, we will find flowering trees and dig into the details of how we can differentiate between their flowers. Flowers are often not around for very long and the timing is very important when identifying trees by their flowers.
