BOGS FINLEY WILDLIFE REFUGE BIRDING

Celeste Campbell Birds of Oregon and General Science group took a birding trip to Finley Wildlife Refuge

Thursday Feb 14. It was the first bright Sunny day we've had for a bird walk in quite a while.

Bluebirds, an immature Golden Eagle, and a Peregrin Falcon were SOME of the highlights.

Massive numbers of Geese and scenic views were enjoyed as well
