Birding in Cuba

Join us next February for an incredible adventure in Cuba! We’ll visit the most productive birding regions in the Caribbean’s largest and most ecologically diverse island nation, where more than 400 bird species have been recorded, including 27 island endemics and 18 considered globally threatened. We’ll also learn about Cuban history, culture, arts, and lifestyle as we travel through this fascinating and beautiful country.

Understanding Raptors

What is a bird of prey? The answer may be more complicated than you think. In this introduction we'll define and discuss this wide array of bird families, focusing on the features that unite them as fierce predators, and how we can observe these adaptations in the field.

Winter Florida Getaway

Join Portland Audubon for a getaway to sunny Florida, where we'll travel the southern portion of the state in search of its unique birdlife.

Along the way, we'll look for enigmatic wildlife like American Crocodile and Manatees and enjoy the fascinating natural history of The Sunshine State.

You will drive yourself and we will meet at 8 a.m. at Fernhill Wetlands near the restrooms and then carefully bird Fernhill. Waterfowl including swans should be abundant. We are hoping for Swamp Sparrow or Northern Shrike as well.  

Around lunchtime, we will move over to Hagg Lake and check for wintering waterfowl and other specialties such as Red-necked Grebe and American Dipper.

The Wonders of Oaxaca

Travel with Portland Audubon to a cultural and biodiversity hotspot of our southern neighbor.
