Events on the Tillamook Coast

Join Bird Alliance of Oregon and Friends of Netarts Bay – Watershed, Estuary, Beach, & Sea (WEBS) to observe coastal birds on and near Netarts Bay. We’ll start by learning about the threatened Western Snowy Plover and Plover Patrol program which engages community scientists to monitor nesting snowy plovers along the north coast, including Netarts Spit. We’ll then travel to various locations around the bay and surrounding headlands in the hopes of seeing soaring brown pelicans, great blue herons, bald eagles, songbirds, and cormorants.

Details:

• Be prepared to walk up to 1-2 miles to and from observation points.
• Participants will need to provide their own transportation between locations and may need to purchase a day-use permit at the state park. The specific route and locations will be shared at the start of the program. Carpooling is encouraged.
• Registration Required

Cost: There is no cost to attend this program. Tax-exempt donations to Netarts Bay WEBS to enable programs like this are encouraged, but not required.
