January 25, 2025 Winter Raptor Run

Join us for a really fun and interesting day of playing hide and seek with local raptors (birds of prey.) For this field trip, we will drive vehicles and stop at spots along N. Bank Rd and back roads leading to Ford’s Pond.

Liz Gayner, wildlife biologist and raptor expert, will be leading this trip. Don’t worry if you don’t have binoculars or a spotting scope.  We have loaner binoculars for anyone who wants them.  No registration is necessary.

Meet: 8:30 am at the BLM parking lot (777 NW Garden Valley Blvd, Roseburg).

For more information: call Liz at (541) 784-8990 and leave a message on text or call with return contact info.

Trip Difficulty: Activity level will involve getting in and out of cars, standing or birding from vehicles.

 Parking:  Most stops will involve dirt or graveled pullouts.  Some pullouts and the BLM parking lots are wide enough to accommodate wheelchair vans.

Facilities:  ADA wheelchair accessible vault restrooms are available at both the East and West Entrances of the North Bank Habitat parking lots.  

 Cell phone service: is not available on much on N. Bank Rd

If, due to bad weather we need to cancel, we will put it up on our website the night before at umpquaaudubon.org, and click on Upcoming Events.
