Bird Walk

Many of the birds you can find on the Oregon Coast have been observed engaging in homosexual or other queer behavior, including the fabulous Anna's Hummingbird. As a matter of fact, homosexual activity has been documented in more 130 bird species around the world, according to a 2010 paper published in the journal, “Animal Behavior” by Geoff MacFarlane, et al. 

In honor of Pride Month, Seven Capes Bird Alliance is collaborating with Lincoln City PrideFest to offer a bird walk at Spring Lake Open Space on Saturday, June 28. Explore this hidden treasure roughly a quarter mile from Highway 101 on NE 14th Street. A paved walk at the top leads to an uneven but scenic trail that follows the lake edge. 

The group will meet at 9 am in the Spring Lake Open Space parking lot on Port Avenue.

After birding, visit the Seven Capes booth at PrideFest at Lincoln City Cultural Center from noon to 5 pm. 

All Seven Capes Bird Alliance bird walks are free, family-friendly, easy to moderately easy and no pre-registration or experience is required. Binoculars and guidebooks are provided. Walks are held rain or shine; dress appropriately for coastal weather and muddy trails. 

The alliance is proud to support the LGBTQIA2S+ community and offer safe and inclusive outdoor experiences to all who seek to connect with the natural world. For more information, go to sevencapes.org.
