Description

Join an exciting birding trip with BOGS and Willamalane along the Central Oregon Coast in May! You will see migratory shorebirds, residents, breeding birds, and stunning coastal landscapes. Start at the Marina in Oldtown Florence, birdwatching along the Siuslaw River, then visit the jetties for more bird sightings and wildlife encounters, weather permitting.
