Bird Song Walks

Thanks for a great Bird Song Walk Season! See you in April and May 2024!

Bird songs signal the coming of spring. Their sounds are ones of hopefulness, wonder, and curiosity. For decades, Portland Audubon has marked the spring season with weekly Bird Song Walks.

Join us for birding in community on these free, guided walks through the Portland Metro area’s songbird habitats. Every location will have a weekly repeating walk to highlight the progression of spring migration. Each week we will become familiar with the sights and sounds of our resident birds, winter stragglers, and some early migrants. As spring progresses, more migrant birds will come to greet us with their new and unfamiliar sounds. Birders will develop their skills and wonder of birding by ear week by week.
