MORNING BIRDWATCHING ︎︎︎ click on name of location for a direct link to maps/meet up point
if you’ve never "gone birding" before, now is your chance!!!
if you have watched a bird before, come and do it again!!!
we will all wake up not too early, but a little bit early, to look around for winged critters. we might
name them, we might laugh at their antics, we might go awwwwwww. we won't walk too far or
too fast. this is a family-friendly, beginner-friendly, bedhead-friendly kinda thing.
we can bring some coffee to put that extra pep in your step and we always have binoculars to
share...
OAKS BOTTOM WETLANDS ︎︎︎ Wednesday 08/13 at 8:30am
maybe our most local wetlands, the seasonally changing and heavily urban impacted refuge. summer means lots of grass, and that means lots of goldfinches!
WHITAKER PONDS ︎︎︎ Tuesday 08/26 at 5:00pm AT NIGHT
one of our favorite places to go! along the Columbia Slough. a shining light for the potential and actualization of cleaning up industrial trash and planting native plants

STEWARDSHIP OUTINGS
ever feel like the birds are always giving you something? maybe joy, renewed vigor, relaxation, a new friend? well, here are some days dedicated to giving back to the birds! clean grass, happy plants, sometimes even birdhouses. joining various conservation non-profits at some of our favorite birdwatching venues, guero bird club is gonna get our hands dirty!GUERO BIRD-STANDING AROUND ︎︎︎
we fall into winter, winter is followed by white geese snowing down from greying skies
didn’t think guero bird outings could get any more low-key? sit on down and let me tell you otherwise! meet us at the SAUVIE ISLAND VIEWING PLATFORM to see some geese, eat some snacks, and talk seasonal migration. then we will take a short drive down to raccoon point to point our spotting scope at some sandhill cranes!
EVENING BIRD STROLL
︎︎︎ START AT PM
not a “morning person”? try birding at the opposite end of the day!
when the swallows stoop and spiral and sup
a great mess of crows poppy the sky towards a communal roost
juncos trill out a prayer from little cedar pulpits
and sometimes sometimes an owl begins her silent work
