Rogue Valley Bird Day
SPONSORS: CITY OF ASHLAND, NORTH MOUNTAIN PARK NATURE CENTER
Enjoy a local celebration of World Bird Migratory Day on Saturday, May 16th, 8 am – Noon at North Mountain Park Nature Center in Ashland. Rogue Valley Bird Day will include educational exhibits from local bird interest groups and more, as well as fun all-ages activities.
Adult and children’s binoculars will be available for checkout, with bird walks leaving every 15 to 30 minutes. These easy walks travel along the park’s bark-chipped trails, or along the accessible, paved bike path. Visitors may also sit down and enjoy the bird watching from the covered pavilion. This year’s event is coordinated by Klamath Bird Observatory, Rogue Valley Audubon Society, and Ashland Parks and Recreation.
The theme “Every Bird Counts – Your Observations Matter,” highlights the importance of citizen birding science. Crafts, games, and a self-guided activity booklet will be on hand for kids to learn about birds and earn prizes. At 11am all ages are invited to compete in the annual Bird Calling Contest and “Name that Bird” contest. Join us for a day of birding fun!
