Grab your binoculars and join GLT and naturalists, Lisa Millbank and Don Boucher, for a morning of birding at Bald Hill Farm. The Farm's fields and woodlands host a wide variety of birds, and listening is a great way to experience them. Migration will be in full swing, and we'll try to find the rare Oregon vesper sparrow. We'll discuss the basics of birding by ear, and help birders of all skill levels identify what they're hearing. This Read More
Let's Bird!
Celebrate Earth Day a few days early with a fun and relaxed outing to Greenbelt's newest conserved property, 
Join us for a morning of birding and exploring the trails at Luckiamute Meadows in Kings Valley. No prior birding experience is necessary and we will have 12 sets of binoculars to borrow if you need them thanks to a recent grant from the NL Peck & BB Peck Family Foundation! Several walk leaders from Salem Audubon who have conducted bird surveys on this site will be our guides for the day and will help us identify birds we see and hear. We will walk for up to 3 miles on flat mowed grass or dirt trails on this property located adjacent to Maxfield Creek and the Luckiamute River. We should encounter plenty of birds as we explore meadows, oak woodlands, riparian corridors, and acres of planted native trees and shrubs. 
Please join us at Bald Hill Farm for a morning of birding, with a special focus on woodpeckers! Our oak woodlands host multiple Acorn Woodpecker colonies, with granary trees for acorn storage. We will likely see several woodpecker species, and if we are lucky, we might spot one of the overwintering Lewis's Woodpeckers. We'll also enjoy the variety of other woodland and open-country birds that make use of the beautiful habitat at Bald Hill Farm.
