Together we will focus on our year-round resident birds and gradually welcome colorful spring migrants and those tricky flycatchers. Beginners and first timers are welcome here. *Please note- we will most often climb down large flights of stairs.

BIPOC & Queer Outings

Join Candace and Camelia for a new round of birding in community. Canemah Bluff is a tucked away location near the Willamette Narrows. Canemah Bluff sits on the ridge of an ancient Columbia Basalt flow where Ice Age Floods later washed away the soil, creating a small scabland of rocky outcrops. You definitely want to check this place out with us.  
In this late Spring morning, we hope to glimpse some of our spring migrants like Common Yellowthroats, flycatchers, Western Tangers and so many more.  
This space is for BIPOC and or Queer peoples!

Coyote Chat with Stan Gehrt

Dr. Stan Gehrt is principal investigator of the largest, and longest, study of coyotes in the Chicago area, which has involved the monitoring of over 1,600 coyotes over a 25-year period. In this presentation, he will discuss the things we have learned from these animals living among millions of people, such as how they move across the landscape while avoiding us, how they interact with each other, and how they function as predators in the urban ecosystem. Dr. Gehrt will also discuss the risks and the benefits of having a top predator within the city, and how our relationships with them may evolve into the future.  

*Dr. Gehrt will be virtual, but the event will be in person at Heron Hall at the Bird Alliance of Oregon sanctuary.

SWIFTS Nature Camp Aftercare

*Aftercare is not an option for Topaz Farm Camps.*  
Register for Afterecare! Please select the Monday of the Week(s) of Aftercare you would like to enroll your camper in. Then, select the option for the number of days of aftercare you need for each week.  

To better accommodate parents’ busy schedules, our full-day camps have a start time window between 8:30 and 9 a.m. and a pick-up window of 3:00/3:15 p.m. Monday-Thursday. Camp will run between 8:30 and 9 a.m. and 1/1:30 p.m. on Fridays. An aftercare fee of $25 will be charged for any child picked up after 3:15 p.m. (M-Th) and 1:15 p.m. (Fridays).  

As part of our commitment to support working families, we’re happy to host Aftercare again this summer. Campers can continue their camp day with even more nature play!
