[obol] (RFI Oregon coast and N. California)-Or. Coast Birding Trail Guide

[Range Bayer]

Hi,

   The free Oregon Coast Birding Trail Guide that also includes the
California Redwoods at http://www.oregoncoastbirding.com/
could be helpful.  In it:

"The coast is divided into four sections that list 173 sites, numbered
from north to south. The guide includes maps, site descriptions,
directions, and a listing of the birds you may see, along with site
services and facilities. Finally, a birding checklist shows the 250 birds
most likely to be detected and the ease of detecting them."

    Cheers,

Range Bayer, Newport

>> Hi!
>>
>> We have a somewhat unusual request. We are a birding family about
>> to embark on a “Bird Year”. Basically it is like a Big Year –
>> except we are doing it all under our own power, mostly by bicycle.
>> We are planning to cycle south along the Oregon coast in late
>> August this year. We plan to reach Astoria on about August 17th and
>> will be cycling along the coast until we enter northern California
>> about August 30th.
>>
>> We’d love to get some advice. What birding hot-spots should we go
>> to? Any advice on places where we can camp out? Are the campgrounds
>> along the coast so busy in the summer that it will be hard to find
>> sites? Your advice will be very helpful!
>>
>> Our trip is 15-year old Malkolm’s idea and we are dedicating our
>> trip to bird conservation. The full details are on our website
>> www.birdyear.com

>> Thanks very much for your help!
