Bird Walks

This field trip, the second of our "Fourth of July" butterfly counts, will be led by our experienced local NABA officers. Join us for a trip to these flower- and butterfly-rich environments. One group travels by car along Frissell Ridge with frequent stops on gravel roads. The other group will hike to the summit of Iron Mountain in the Cascades. Beginners are encouraged to participate in the outing as a learning experience in butterfly identification.

3rd SATURDAY BIRD WALK
- After scouting several locations for this Saturday's 3rd Saturday Bird Walk I have decided that we will follow in the footsteps of the Wednesday Birders' Group and walk the relatively new Springfield Path. We'll leave from the trailhead where 32nd turns into Jasper Road (see the included image) and walk towards Clearwater Park. Meet to carpool at South Eugene High School at 8:00 a.m. or at the Trailhead about 8:30.
