Queer Flockers Coastal Birding Extravaganza
Friends of Netart Bay WEBS is excited to partner with Queer Flockers, a Portland-based queer birding group, to host a Coastal Birding Extravaganza for queer folks and bird lovers to learn, bird, and be in community on Saturday, July 19th, 9:00 a.m.! We will explore the tidal flats of Tillamook Bay, the sandy beach of Bayocean Spit, and the dramatic cliffs of Cape Meares. This year one hundred and nineteen different species of birds have been spotted on and around the spit, twenty eight in the month of June alone. “We hope to see many of these species while taking in the diverse habitats of mudflats, grasslands, beaches and forests”, shares WEBS director Chrissy Smith. Come join us for what’s sure to be a fun morning of hiking, exploring, birding and socializing!
Space is limited! We have 10 spots for our Portland-based Flockers and 10 spots for folks in Tillamook County. Please choose the appropriate ticket when you register!
Check out Bayocean Spit and Cape Meares on eBird to learn more about who we might see.
