Bird Walk, Indian Ford Meadow Preserve

Join the Deschutes Land Trust, Kara Jakse, and Coleen Pidgeon for a bird walk at picturesque Indian Ford Meadow. We’ll look for nuthatches in the pines, kinglets in the willows along Indian Ford Creek, raptors in the sky, and songbirds in the sage flats as we take in views of Mt. Jefferson and the Three Sisters. Beginning and intermediate birders welcome! Registration is required and opens 1 month prior to the event.

Elevation gain/loss: There is very little elevation gain/loss on this hike.

What to Bring: Binoculars (if you have them), snacks, water, closed toe shoes. Dress for the weather.
