ECAS Birding Trips

Between April and November we lead birding trips throughout Central Oregon. These are free of charge but we do encourage participants to join ECAS. Generally, these are day trips that are led by local birders who are enthusiastic and are keen to share their knowledge of the local birds and birding spots. We encourage people to carpool once people have arrived at the meeting place. Field trips offer a great opportunity for people who are still learning their birds as well as those experts who can help the rest of us .... Its a great chance to meet people and see some of the wonderful places in Central Oregon.

Bring good footware, a lunch, and dress for any weather for we can go through all four seasons in half an hour.
