All are welcome to come explore the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site with the Vancouver Audubon Society
An oasis of green in the midst of suburban sprawl, this location has a history of attracting unexpected migrants and year-round residents alike. Migration is coming to a close, but nesting season is well underway. With fledglings popping up, we are hoping to hear the buzzy song of Savannah Sparrows in the fields, the bubbling warbles of Lazuli Buntings in the brambles, and the sustained trill of Chipping Sparrows in the oaks.
Our route will cover a total distance of around 1.6 miles at a leisurely pace on pavement, packed dirt, and one section on short grass. The path slopes very gently with the second half being uphill over a ~5% grade at the steepest portion. There are benches and picnic tables spaced infrequent intervals, and folks are welcome to come and go as their time, energy, and ability allows.
