Join us on a birding experience in Malheur National Forest, the 1.7 million acre forest is diverse and includes high desert grasslands, sage, juniper, pine, fir and other tree species, and hidden gems of alpine lakes and meadows. This diverse forest provides habitat for an array of bird species, we can hope to see (or hear) pileated woodpeckers, dusky grouse, Cooper’s Hawk, and many many more! Please dress for the weather, and wear comfortable shoes as we will be walking in uneven forest terrain. This tour is led by Melissa Petschauer, Harney Basin Ecological Coordinator for High Desert Partnership. Her career has been based in avian research and is excited to take folks on this tour. VAN-GUIDED (You ride with us) Friday; CARAVAN (we lead, you drive) Saturday.
