[birding] Bicycle Birding Season Begins Sunday, May 24

[bouchdon at peak.org]

Bicycle birding is a fresh, green alternative to driving through the
countryside.  In addition to saving fossil fuel, bicycle birding offers
other advantages. On a bike, a birder can access bird habitats and listen
for birds that motorists miss. Bicycle birding also covers more ground,
and more bird habitats, than hiking.
The Audubon Society of Corvallis launches its 2009 Bicycle Birding
schedule starting with an outing this Sunday, May 24 at EE Wilson Wildlife
Area just north of Adair Village.
Bring water, binoculars and a bicycle helmet. If you haven’t already, dust
off your bicycle, check the air pressure and the brakes. Rides are easy,
flat and range between 3 to 10 miles.
FREE. Led by Don Boucher & Lisa Millbank, 541-753-7689, bouchdon at peak.org
