 Ford’s Pond Bird Field Trip

Saturday, October, 11, 2025

START TIME 9 am

No Registration needed

October is the peak of the fall bird migration. Last year we recorded 52 species of birds, totaling 757 individual birds.

Come join us!

Meet:  9 am at Ford’s Pond parking lot -382 Church Rd, Sutherlin. From I-5 take Exit 136, drive west on Hwy 138 and at 1 mile, turn left onto Church Rd (**GPS may not be dependable). The walk will be approximately 2 hours long. Participants can leave when they need to.

Additional Info:  People new to birding are always welcome to join in, as are families with children.  Loaner binoculars are available for adults and children. We will have local volunteer birders in attendance, but we also encourage the group to help spot and ID birds. We walk at a slow pace, stopping often to observe birds.

Accessibility and trail conditions: We walk on the ADA accessible pathway on the south side of Ford’s Pond where it is more “birdy”. This also gives us access to Woodruff pond that often has unique species. We do at times step off the ADA pathway. If it has been raining, you might want to wear waterproof shoes such as mud boots.  The ADA restrooms are open at the Church Rd parking lot.
