SAVE THE DATE!


Fall Retreat – Tryon Creek, Portland, Oregon


Focus:  Interpreting the Landscape - Through the Eyes of Birds



Date:  Sept 22 & 23
Where:  Tryon Creek, Portland, OR www.tryonfriends.org
Focus:  Interpreting the Landscape – Through the Eyes of Birds

Overview:  Study the unique landscape through the viewpoint of birds.  Day 1: Presentations and mini-workshops on general bird anatomy and drawing specifications (taxidermy and museum mounts of birds will be provided) and hints for working in the field. Day 2: Short intro on preparing interpretive sign approaches and then field sketching of bird habitats with an emphasis on native plants and bird needs for nesting, and food sources. Hopefully we’ll get some direct observation and sketching of birds at Tryon Creek. Dividing into groups we’ll sketch the various habitat types and work on a rough draft of interpretive signs for those areas.
More information coming soon!
