The Bird Days of Summer: Birdin’ with the Fam! (A kid-friendly outing) *FULL*
Bring the fam for birding at Fernhill Wetlands in Hillsboro, OR! Once sewage ponds turned treatment wetlands, Fernhill is full of life with pollinators, amphibians, reptiles, waterbirds, songbirds, raptors, and mammals! As we explore, we hope to spot baby ducklings, swallows, Turkey Vultures and Bald Eagles. On our journey, kids and competitive adults can join in on an optional scavenger hunt. This is a family friendly, intergenerational walk. Adult binoculars will be provided. Meet in the picnic area near the restrooms.
