POSTPONED – Nature Night: Exploring the Mysteries of Coyotes in the City with Stanley Gehrt PhD

We have postponed Bird Alliance of Oregon’s Nature Night with Stan Gehrt on Tuesday, January 14, 7 p.m. at the Oregon Zoo due to the strong possibility of inclement weather. Fortunately, Stan will still be joining us for this season of Nature Night and we have rescheduled for Tuesday, April 28, at the Oregon Zoo’s Cascade Crest Banquet Center. We hope to see you there! Please note, you do not need to re-RSVP.
