After organizing into teams led by experienced Coast Fork Birders, they will head into the field by 7:30 am. For the end-of-the-day Countdown, teams will gather at 4 pm at El Tapatio Mexican Restaurant & Cantina, 725 E. Gibbs Ave., Cottage Grove.
Be sure to bring your birding gear, weather-appropriate clothing, lunch, and snacks to get you through the day.

Phone Grace at 817.975.4936 as soon as possible to optimize placement into a birding sector of your preference.
Program Meetings
Our monthly program meetings have something for everyone. During the last year we hosted programs by naturalists, wildlife artists and expert birders on a variety of topics from the birds of Hawaii, to ravens, wolves, and people, to the migration of red knots. Participating in a program meeting is a fun way to get involved with Lane County Audubon. Meetings are free and open to all.
We are currently meeting on Zoom and in-person as conditions allow on the 4th Tuesday of each month between September and May at 7:00 p.m.
