See raptors, Lake Sacajawea birds on April 13

The Willapa Hills Audubon Society will sponsor two events on April 13. Birders can begin the morning at the Second Saturday Bird Walk around Lake Sacajawea. Meet at 8 a.m. at the Hemlock Square off Kessler Blvd and Hemlock in Longview. Dress for the weather and bring binoculars if you have them. The leader will have a scope for better views. The walk will last about 1.5 hours.

Later in the morning, birders can head to Lower Columbia College’s student center to learn about hawks, owls, vultures and eagles and to get a close-up view of these birds as the Oregon Zoo brings live raptors from the Pacific Northwest and all over the world for a visit. The 11 a.m. program is free and all ages are welcome to attend. The event is jointly sponsored by WHAS and the LCC Sustainability Club.
