April 16, 2021 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am

Field Trip: Canemah Bluff

Canemah Bluff protects 300 acres of Oak woodland, meadows and mixed coniferous forest. Set just above the Willamette River just downstream from the narrows, the mix of habitats attract many species of birds. We’ll watch for early migrants such as swallows, swifts and warblers.

Please dress for the weather. You will drive yourself for the day. Dan will reach out with further details before the trip. 

Trip limited to 9 participants (Metro properties limit groups to 10 total). 

This outdoor program will follow all physical distancing and safety protocols dictated by the Oregon Health Administration. Masks required. Please feel free to bring your own spotting scope if you have one. Scroll down for details.

$45 – $65
