Pete Thayer's Favorite Hot Spots:
Crater Lake National Park
42.96 N 122.06 W
Alpine forests and beautiful scenery attract birders in search of Stellar's Jay,
Townsend's Solitaire, Three-toed Woodpecker and Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch.
Malheur National Wildlife Refuge
43.16 N 118.49 W
Watch for American White Pelican, Trumpeter Swan, Sage Thrasher, MacGillivray's Warbler
and other western specialties. Visit in September or October and you may find a rarity or
two.
Sauvie Island Wildlife Area
45.86 N 123.22 W
Visit during the fall and winter to see raptors, gulls, sparrows and waterfowl. Thayer's
Gull can be found at the south end of the island. In late summer, mudflats hold thousands
of shorebirds.
Tillamook Bay / Cape Meares
45.50 N 123.91 W
The entire coast along Highway 101 is a wonderful place to view seabirds. Watch for Tufted
Puffin, Black Oystercatcher, Common Murre, and sea lions on the rocks. In August, scan
offshore for migrating Sooty Shearwater.
Upper Klamath National Wildlife Refuge
42.48 N 122.06 W
15,000 acres of mostly freshwater marsh and open water. These habitats serve as
excellent nesting and brood rearing areas for waterfowl and colonial nesting birds
including American White Pelican and several heron species. Hundreds of thousands of
waterfowl stop here during migration.
