Have you ever been to Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in eastern Oregon?
Please plan to join us, April 22nd to the 25th on our way back from Arizona! We are fairly new members of Spokane Audubon, Bill and Ann-Scott Ettinger, but have been long time birders, and Malheur is one of our favorite late spring destinations! It is on the Pacific Flyway and late April into early May is the perfect time to be there to see a huge variety of water birds, migrant warblers, raptors, burrowing owls, sandhill cranes nesting, and so much more. We camp at the Narrows RV Park, 10 min from the Refuge Headquarters, but there are many hotels in Burns, OR, 30-45 min from the Headquarters. Most birding is done at the Refuge Headquarters, short walks along ponds, and driving on dirt roads that go through the refuge, similar to Turnbull. More info in the Upcoming Events section of the Spokane Audubon website, HERE.
Contact us with any questions and to let us know if you’d like to carpool to Malheur. We have one person interested already who is willing to ride or drive. She needs a birding buddy! We hope to meet you there! Ann-Scott and Bill Ettinger (bark4snow@comcast.net)
