Hawks and Hot Chocolate - Bird Alliance of Oregon


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 02/17/2024
Join us for a day of winter birding on Sauvie Island in partnership with Topaz Farm and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service! We’ll keep you warm with free hot chocolate and coffee (while supplies last), plus sweet farm-baked goods for purchase. Bring your crew, your family, or come solo for a cool and casual day road-tripping through Sauvie Island’s birding hotspots. We’ll get outside together in search of the fiercest birds, the Fantastic Four of raptors: Northern Harrier, Red-tailed Hawk, American Kestrel, and Bald Eagle. At each spot, check out birds through spotting scopes and ask your curious questions to our stationed naturalists. This is a family-friendly event, and you can come and go anytime during event hours.
