Newport, Ore. – On Saturday, May 11, the BLM’s Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area will celebrate World Migratory Bird Day by offering free entry and educational activities including guided nature hikes, available in both Spanish and English. These events demonstrate BLM’s commitment to serving the American family by being good neighbors and providing recreational opportunities.  

Guided Walks

In observance of World Migratory Bird Month and Memorial weekend, come join us for activities such as: Migratory Bird Egg Hunt (Glow in the Dark), guided bird walks, and much more!

It happens every year; and this time we’re having a celebration! Join Lake Conestee Nature Park for an International Migratory Bird Day on May 11th at 601 Fork Shoals Rd. We’ll have a fun series of activity stations for kids, Moms, Dads, and other adults that will teach you the basics of birding and lots of other “birdy” facts.  

Stations will include basic birding skills, how to use binoculars, a migration activity, and stations on how plastic pollution affects birds at LCNP.

This two-part class combines a warbler identification workshop at Fisherville Brook with a field visit to Rome Point. Join Audubon Society of Rhode Island birding expert Laura Carberry for a presentation on how to identify spring warblers that visit Rhode Island then take those skills out into the field and view the birds wintering in our area. Please bring binoculars and dress for the weather.
