Get ready to celebrate International Migratory Bird Day! On Saturday, May 16th, the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge will host its Migratory Songbird Festival for its 13th year. The full slate of events commences with early morning bird walks at 6:30am and 8:30am, each of which will last approximately 2 hours and cover 2 miles; meet at the Wildlife Center for these complimentary perambulations. If you would rather sleep in on your Saturday morning, then you can choose to arrive for the Guided Nature Walks at 10:30am, 12pm, 12:30pm or 1pm; these walks will also begin from the Wildlife Center and will last one hour. Live music, presentations, arts, crafts and photography exhibits, and a native plant sale will round out the schedule. Continuous activities will run from 10am to 2:30pm. Parking will be available at Home Depot, with a free shuttle running from 9:45am to 3pm.
