Join Columbia Slough Watershed Council, Bird Alliance of Oregon, and local bird walk leaders Ryan Gilpin and Thomas Meinzen for a bird walk at Wilkes Creek.

This event is part of a larger event series, Slough Fest, hosted by Bird Alliance of Oregon. This event is the final outing of the series and will be followed by a celebration event at Level Beer — all ages are welcome to attend this family-friendly gathering!

What to Bring: Pack along water, binoculars, and warm layers. Snacks, warm drinks, and extra binoculars will be available.

Getting there: We will be meeting at Wilkes Creek Headwaters. There is parking available on the street. Taking public transportation? Take bus line #21 and get off at NE Sandy & 154th. Walk south on NE 154th Ave for about 5 minutes and make a right turn where the road curves left and becomes NE Fremont.

Accessibility:  The group will navigate ~1.5 miles along mixed surfaces (some flat, uneven, dirt, grass) including some sloped hills. The group will move at a slow pace, and make frequent stops. There is a restroom at Wilkes City Park about .1 miles away or about a 3-minute walk.

Stay home if you are experiencing symptoms of any contagious illness or have had recent contact with someone exhibiting symptoms of any illness.
