Join the Deschutes Land Trust and Aaron Jenkins for a bird walk at Willow Springs Preserve. Search for dippers and other water birds along Whychus Creek and warblers working the willows. Then, watch for woodpeckers in the Preserve’s cottonwood and aspen stands and raptors soaring above the meadow. Find birds through sight and sound and learn about recent restoration work at the Preserve. Registration is required and opens 1 month prior to the event.
