Bring Dad to the Beach!

This month, we’re offering a series of events for Father’s Day weekend to enjoy with dads (and moms!) on our beautiful coast!

Friday, June 13, 9-11 a.m.: Bird Walk at Hostetler Park & Devils Lake Campground

Join us for a walk through diverse habitats along the D River, crossing a hidden boardwalk through unique wetlands, then on through the campgrounds to Devils Lake. We’ll look for birds like Swainson’s Thrush, sparrows, and waterfowl. Meet at NE 1st St. parking area on the east side of Hwy 101 in Lincoln City.
Sponsored by Lincoln City Parks and Recreation

Saturday, June 14, 9-11 a.m.: Bird Walk at Ona Beach & Beaver Creek State Natural Area

Starting with a walk through the woods along the creek, we’ll make our way to the ocean beach, looking for nesting birds including warblers and swallows, along with resident wading birds and songbirds. From there, time permitting, we’ll drive to Beaver Creek. Meet at the Ona Beach parking area, part of Brian Booth State Park.

Sunday, June 15, 8:30-11 a.m. (Father’s Day): Fogarty Creek Tidepool Walk

Join Fawn Custer, a highly experienced environmental marine science educator, in discovering the spectacular tidepools and shorebirds of Fogarty Creek–a recently designated Marine Conservation Area. Extreme low tides promise excellent exploration, but wear rubber boots or water shoes to wade in. Group size is limited and pre-registration is required. Meet in the parking lot of Fogarty Creek State Recreation Area just north of Depoe Bay off Hwy. 101.

Wednesday, June 18, 3-4 p.m.: Perch and Pour at Salishan Coastal Lodge

Every third Wednesday, Salishan opens The Attic restaurant an hour early for birders of all levels—both Salishan guests and the public—to gather in conversation and sip on a craft cocktail or non-alcoholic beverage in a cozy setting. This month we’ll enjoy a little trivia on the topic of fatherhood in the bird world. Buy Dad a drink and join the fun! Salishan Coastal Lodge is at 7760 US-101, Gleneden Beach.
