Description:
Are you ready for an adventure? Let’s take a step back in time to a slower pace of life and journey into the western edge of Oregon’s outback country. While the focus of this trip will be bird watching and identification, there is much interesting history and geology in this area as well. We have reserved the rustic Summer Lake Lodge for two nights and will be right across the road from the Summer Lake Wildlife Refuge. There will be ample time for bird watching on the refuge, as well as time for relaxing at the Lodge or for walking. The Refuge will be alive with shore birds, water birds, song birds and predatory birds; these birds will have settled in for the summer to nest and raise their young. Perhaps we will even see the elusive Yellow-headed Blackbirds. This trip also includes: the beautiful drive down to Paisley (between Summer Lake and Winter Ridge) for lunch at the historic Pioneer Saloon & Restaurant, watch for antelope along the way; a stop at Fort Rock State Natural Area; a self-guided tour of Homestead Village Museum at Fort Rock; lunch at the unique Waterin’ Hole Tavern in Fort Rock; and if time allows, a short stop at Salt Creek Falls on the way home. Bring a sack lunch for the first day and snacks of your choice. Day one coffee break at Oakridge McDonald’s, two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners are all included in cost of the trip. Suggest bringing: binoculars, bird book, rain jacket & good walking shoes.
Space is limited to twenty-five people; Obsidians will have priority until March 15th (a wait list will be maintained). A full itinerary will be available at the Rally or upon request.
