Oregon & Northern California

Klamath Basin & Coastal Hotspots

30 September 2010 - 9 October 2010, 10 days & 9 nights

Our Oregon adventure begins on the coast at Tillamook Bay, one of the prime birding areas in the entire Pacific Northwest. Tillamook and nearby Bayocean Spit will yield an incredible variety of seabirds, shorebirds, waterfowl and related species. A full day pelagic trip with Greg Gillson and Tradewinds Charters will take us into the Pacific in search of tubenoses: Black-footed Albatross, Pink-footed Shearwater, Fork-tailed Storm-Petrel, and many others. This trip has produced some incredible rarities including the Short-tailed and Laysan Albatrosses that we found on a previous tour. After another day of coastal birding, we move inland to Crater Lake, the Klamath Basin, Tule Lake (California), and a total change of pace. Now we'll be looking at dozens of Bald Eagles, thousands upon thousands of ducks and geese, and large flocks of Sandhill Cranes. There will be Ferruginous Hawks and Short-eared Owls. Great Gray Owl is resident here and we will make every effort to find one, as we have in the past. A few of the more intriguing songbirds we will seek include Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch, Golden-crowned Sparrow, Wrentit, Townsend's Solitaire, Tricolored Blackbird, and American Dipper. Woodpeckers include American Three-toed, Black-backed, Lewis's, and White-headed. Our last stop is Sauvie Island near Portland. This is an excellent songbirding area and a great spot for scoping more waterfowl, raptors, and Sandhill Cranes. John Puschock will be the leader. And, please consider a few more days to . . .

Fort Stevens & Clatsop Spit

At the Mouth of the Columbia River, Extension to the Oregon Tour

9 October 2010 - 12 October 2010, 4 days & 3 nights

Clatsop Spit and the extreme northwestern portion of Oregon are at the mouth of the Columbia River. Birding areas include Coffenbury Lake for migrant songbirds, Wrentit, and the locally rare Northwestern Crow. The South Jetty of the Columbia River has produced some of the most remarkable records in the state, including Yellow-billed Loon, Lesser Sand-Plover, Spotted Redshank, Long-toed Stint, and McKay's Bunting. This is THE best spot in Oregon to look for Sharp-tailed Sandpiper and Ruff. Isolated brushy areas create a haven for migrant songbirds. Rarities have included Ash-throated Flycatcher, Mountain Bluebird, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and a number of Eastern warblers. We will also make short jaunts along the coast to look for new pelagic species and seek out any reported rarities. The extension will begin immediately following the regular tour and end mid-day on 12 October. We will stay all three nights at the same motel in Astoria. John Puschock will be your leader.

Price: $1095.00 from Portland, Oregon
