Oregon is our Specialty!

It's our backyard, our playground and our workplace. Let us show you Perpetua Bank, 40 miles offshore, or Mary's Peak, high in the Coast Range. Join us in the High Cascades or the High Desert. Travel with us to Malheur Refuge or the Wallowa Mountains. From Albatrosses to Woodpeckers, we'll show you some of the best birding in the West.

WALLOWA WINTER WONDERLAND:
Northeastern Oregon’s Columbia Plateau & Wallowa Valley
February 10-14, 2010 ... NOTE: ONLY TWO SPACES REMAINING!
Visit the Columbia River Gorge, Wallowa River and Mountains, and the rolling prairies of Wallowa County. Large wintering concentrations of a few special species surrounded by some of the most spectacular scenery in North America.

Other Highlights: at just over 80 species, this trip tallies our shortest species list, but the winter spectacle is phenomenal; flocks of up to hundreds each of Snow Buntings, Rosy-Finches, and Bohemian Waxwings; small pockets of Tree Sparrows in the canyons; startling raptor abundance, including Harlan’s Red-tailed Hawk; American Dippers along icy streams; and the spectacular Wallowa Mountains skyline.
