Pete Thayer's Favorite Hot Spots:
Crater Lake National Park
42.96 N 122.06 W
Alpine forests and beautiful scenery attract birders in search of Stellar's Jay, Townsend's Solitaire, Three-toed Woodpecker and Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch.
Malheur National Wildlife Refuge
43.16 N 118.49 W
Watch for American White Pelican, Trumpeter Swan, Sage Thrasher, MacGillivray's Warbler and other western specialties. Visit in September or October and you may find a rarity or two.
Sauvie Island Wildlife Area
45.86 N 123.22 W
Visit during the fall and winter to see raptors, gulls, sparrows and waterfowl. Thayer's Gull can be found at the south end of the island. In late summer, mudflats hold thousands of shorebirds.
Tillamook Bay / Cape Meares
45.50 N 123.91 W
The entire coast along Highway 101 is a wonderful place to view seabirds. Watch for Tufted Puffin, Black Oystercatcher, Common Murre, and sea lions on the rocks. In August, scan offshore for migrating Sooty Shearwater.
Upper Klamath National Wildlife Refuge
42.48 N 122.06 W
15,000 acres of mostly freshwater marsh and open water. These habitats serve as excellent nesting and brood rearing areas for waterfowl and colonial nesting birds including American White Pelican and several heron species. Hundreds of thousands of waterfowl stop here during migration.
