This is an ongoing citizen science project, the numbers of different species observed by walk participants are entered in the Cornell Ornithological Laboratory's eBird database. The gate will be opened at 8:00am and closed at 8:20am, walk begins at 8:30am, and participants will need to purchase a ODFW parking permit. They can be purchased at the ODFW office on E. Gregory Rd. or any retailer that sells hunting and fishing licenses. For more information regarding these walks go to: roguevalleyaudubon.org

Max McClarnon will be leading a walk to N. Mountain Park in Ashland this Saturday. The park is a great place to see a good variety of birds. The area lies adjacent to Bear Creek and has two small ponds. The habitat is carefully conserved to attract migrants and because of the Nature Center's active participation in Project FeederWatch, it is an excellent place for close-up views of winter birds.
