Bird Walks

Our monthly Bird Walk is held on the third Saturday of each month. All levels of birders are welcome, from novice to expert.

 This month's 3rd Saturday Bird Walk will take place this Saturday the 17th. We plan to head north to Finley National Wildlife Refuge. We will meet to carpool at the usual South Eugene High School east parking lot location - leaving at 8:00 a.m. We will arrive at the prairie observation platform off Finley Road (left off Hwy 99) at about 8:45. That's on the north side of the Refuge. We plan to be back in Eugene by 1 o'clock.
A $3 donation is suggested for Bird Walk participants.

Bon Voyage to Vaux's Swifts at Agate Hall

Posted on Friday, September 2nd, 2016

LCAS hosts this annual event. Vaux’s Swifts use the chimney to roost for the night as they gather during their migration stopover. Last year a big group of the birds came through earlier than usual, in late August and early September, so many people missed them. We may see several thousand birds entering the chimney, but nothing is guaranteed! It’s entertaining to observe the swifts swirl down the chimney at night, before they continue on their journey to Central and South America for the winter.
