Join us for our inaugural celebration of Lincoln City Osprey Day on Friday, July 11, 2025! In 2023, with the help of grants from National Audubon Society and Oregon Birding Alliance, we began our Osprey Awareness Initiative with the goal of filling the gaps in knowledge about Ospreys in our area and increasing understanding and appreciation for these magnificent raptors. With two rivers, a lake, and the Pacific Ocean, Lincoln City provides local breeding Ospreys with plenty of fishing opportunities, making it the perfect place to return year after year to raise young.

This year, we’re excited to start a new annual tradition of celebrating Lincoln City Osprey Day! Join us on Friday, July 11, for opportunities to learn about our local Ospreys, observe their nests, and enjoy art and live performances in honor of our Oregon State Raptor!

What to expect:

Bird Walk at Nesika City Park, 9-11 a.m.
Visit the nesting Osprey pair and look for songbirds in the woods and wetlands!
Meet at SE 3rd and Mast.
