Central Oregon Coast Birding Events in Newport, Depoe Bay Published 01/31/2014 (Newport, Oregon) – More fun with bird outings on the central Oregon coast will be had in February, as the Yaquina Birders & Naturalists hosts a field trip around Depoe Bay and a lecture on birds in Newport. Varied Thrush photo by Ram Papish; one of the species that could be seen during the birdwatching field trip. First up is on Thursday, February 20, with Eric Horvath presenting "Natural History & Birding in the Galapagos." The wildlife of Galapagos evolved in isolation, producing strange and marvelous island species, as Darwin found when he visited in 1835. See photos of these famously approachable creatures from a modern tour experience as led by Eric. This Yaquina Birders & Naturalists meeting starts at 7 p.m. at the Meeting Room of Central Lincoln PUD (2129 North Coast Highway) in north Newport. Cost is free and the public is welcome.
