Are you ready for an adventure? Let’s take a step back in time to a slower pace of life as we 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 a short stop at Salt Creek Falls on the way home.
Day one will start with coffee break at Green Waters Park in Oakridge. Bring a sack lunch for this day, as we plan a lunch stop at the Klamath Marsh NWR Visitor Center. Other meals, (two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners) are all included in the cost of the trip. Suggest bringing: snacks of your choice, binoculars, bird book, rain jacket and good walking shoes.
Space is limited to twenty-three people; Obsidians will have priority until March 20th (a wait list will be maintained).
