Enjoy a local celebration of World Bird Migratory Day on Saturday, May 10th, 8 am – Noon at North Mountain Park Nature Center in Ashland. Rogue Valley Bird Day will include educational exhibits from the Klamath Bird Observatory, Wildlife Images, and more, as well as fun all-ages activities.
Adult and children’s binoculars will be available for checkout, with bird walks leaving every 15-30 minutes. These easy walks travel along the park’s bark-chipped trails, or along the accessible, paved bike path. Visitors may also sit down and enjoy the bird watching from the covered pavilion.
This year’s theme “Shared Spaces”, will highlight small actions everyone can take to create space and care for our avian friends, especially during migration.
Crafts, games, and a self-guided activity booklet will be on hand for kids to learn about birds and earn prizes. At 11am all ages are invited to compete in the annual Bird Calling Contest and “Name that Bird” contest, with prizes provided by the Rogue Valley Audubon Society. Join us for a day of birding fun!
