Tualatin River NWR Songbird Festival A Success
Pacific Region, May 14, 2005
Print Friendly Version
On May 14th, Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge celebrated its 10th Annual Migratory Songbird Festival. The event, planned in partnership with the Friends of Tualatin River NWR, drew over 750 people for a day of bird walks, habitat tours, canoe rides, wildlife watching, hands-on activities, interactive exhibits, music, and an educational display of live birds of prey. Volunteers, staff and visitors all contributed to a ?Festival Bird Checklist? and recorded over 75 species of birds observed on the Refuge during the event.

A highlight of the Songbird Festival was the debut of a new USFWS traveling exhibit, Wildlife Tales: Rediscover Wildlife Along the Lewis and Clark Trail. The exhibit featured fish, wildlife and plant species encountered by Lewis and Clark, what has happened to those species and their habitats in the intervening 200 years, and what the Fish and Wildlife Service is doing today to conserve and manage those species and their habitats. Visitors discovered the wildlife legacy of Lewis and Clark through interactive interpretive displays, music and stories, short wildlife talks, and a book signing by Keith Hay, author of The Lewis and Clark Columbia River Water Trail.

Special thanks go out to the many partners and volunteers who worked together to make the 10th Annual Migratory Songbird Festival an event that brought the community together in celebration of the spring arrival of migratory songbirds and nature.
