Willamette Valley Birding Trail

Many of the birds that Lewis & Clark wrote about in their journals over 200 years ago can be found throughout the lush landscape that marks the end of the Oregon Trail. Follow a loop of prime birding sites from downtown Eugene out to Veneta. The Willamette Valley Birding Guide's Fern Ridge Loop includes Skinner Butte, Delta Ponds, Steward Pond, Meadowlark Prairie, Fern Ridge Reservoir, Perkins Peninsula State Park, Kirk Park and the Eugene Airport area.
