Mt. Talbert Bird Walk
Join naturalist and educator Elaine Murphy for a free educational bird walk around Mount Talbert! Mount Talbert towers 500 ft over the urban landscape below and offers 4 miles of trail network on a 200-acre forested oasis. Watch for deer, Western gray squirrels, Pileated and Hairy Woodpeckers, White-breasted Nuthatches and migrating songbirds. Mount Talbert is the largest in a string of extinct volcanoes and lava domes that stretches across the east side of the region.
Mt. Talbert – Meet in the main parking lot entrance south of the park off SE Mather Rd., east of SE 97th. Don’t use the Metro address of 10945 SE Mather Rd.
To accompany Elaine on the bird walk, we ask that you register in advance by phoning the Happy Valley shop at 503-445-2699, press 6. The walk will last 2 – 3 hours. Advance reservations are required—we limit the number of participants to ensure that everyone has an enjoyable and educational experience. Dress for the weather, and, please, no pets!
