Bird Walk, Priday Ranch

Join the Deschutes Land Trust, Kara Jakse, and Coleen Pidgeon for a bird walk at Priday Ranch. We’ll listen for singing yellow-breasted chats and common yellow-throats along Trout Creek. Rock and canyon wrens may be calling from the rocky hillsides and Bullock’s orioles are usually found by the farmhouse. Explore the Preserve while looking for 30+ species here at this time of year. Beginning and intermediate birders welcome! Registration is required and opens 1 month prior to the event.
