Raptor Road Trip
February 3, 2006
I wanted to pass on information that this weekend is the Raptor Road Trip on Sauvie’s Island that is hosted by the Portland Audobon Society.
It is on Saturday 2/4 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. A friend took her son last year and she reports:
It was very cool. You pick up a map when you drive onto the island and there are volunteers w/ birds of prey for observation. Last year we saw them release a rehabilitated red tail hawk. Then you drive around the island to various vantage points to observe different raptors on the island. There are volunteers at the stations to help you see the birds. The trees are bare and the birds are beginning to nest so it is easy (even for a non-bird expert) to spot the birds and nests.
