Redwood Region Audubon Society invites you to this online presentation on with Russ Namitz.

With practice and experience, one can quickly separate different groups of raptors based on flight style, gestalt and plumage characteristics. Learn some tips and tricks about raptor identification on the wing, raptors at a distance and some local raptor viewing spots to practice your skills.

Russ Namitz was born and raised in Lincoln City, Oregon. At age 9, he was captivated by the furtive Pacific Northwest denizen of dank woods, the Varied Thrush.  With a few stepping stones along the way, Russ really began actively birding the summer after graduating from Pacific University in Forest Grove, OR.  His first, of many seasonal biology field jobs to follow, was searching for nesting Northern Goshawks in the Okanogan NF in Washington. In 2002, Russ finally took an Ornithology class, coincidentally from Humboldt State University.  He enjoyed a year of birding in the area, meeting local celebrities and rubbing elbows with the talented birders and riff raff (sometimes the same people) in the area. Russ is a pelagic bird guide for Oregon Pelagic Tours and currently holds the Oregon Big Year record of 381 species.

Help create bird-friendly native habitat and restore a section of the bay trail. Tasks range from muscling large plants out of the ground to cutting flowers off of blooming invasives. There is plenty to do!

The trail section is located behind the Bayshore Mall and volunteers will meet in the parking lot directly behind Walmart.

Until further notice, we will be following our COVID-19 protocol.  We will provide hand sanitizer, wipes, and packaged snacks.  Please bring your own water, gloves, and face mask. We will work until 11:00 a.m. Please contact Jeremy Cashen at jeremy.cashen@yahoo.com or (214) 605-7368.
