Bird Walk at Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden - Last Days of Summer!
Details
Hey bird lovers! The fall equinox in Oregon arrives on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at 5:05 PM PDT. Let's do last-days-of-summer stroll around the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden. It's an excellent hotspot for birds - eBird reports regularly show 50+ species! 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!
