Birds of Peak Summer at Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden
Details
Hey bird lovers! Let's do a Summer stroll around the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden. It's an excellent hotspot for birds - eBird reports show 50+ species just this month! There are lots of varieties of ducks, song birds, woodpeckers, sporadic raptors, and, with luck, we may see the Bald Eagle Family.
This is a free walk, but there is admission to Crystal Springs. Admission fee varies from free to $9, details at https://csrgpdx.org/visit.
I've been leading Bird Walks for the Bird Alliance for the last few years, and we'll probably have a second friend along.
This is a family friendly walk, for birders of all levels. Youth very welcome to join!
