Bicycle BirdingFree an Audubon Society of Corvallis sponsored trip Come out and enjoy life and birding at a human pace. By “going green” and forgoing the automobile for a birding trip, you won’t be sacrificing your potential bird encounters. I like to think of bicycle birding as high-density birding. When you’re driving down the highway, you’re whizzing by hundreds of birds without seeing or hearing them. While bicycle birding, we won’t miss anything, and we’ll be covering more ground than hiking. Last Sunday of each month. 9am - Noon.Sunday, May 27, 2012, 9am - noon Sundays (2012), June 24, July 29, Aug 26, Sept 30, 9am - noon Trips are free. Bring a bicycle helmet, water and binoculars. We ride slowly, listen for birds and stop frequently. Trip lengths are usually less than 10 miles. For more information, contact Don Boucher, 541-753-7689, bouchdon[at}peak.org Birding Class Schedule (Spring 2012)Prices. $12 per person, per class. OR $20 per person for both classes.
