The Raptor Road Trip is held annually on Sauvie Island in Portland and will occur both Saturday and Sunday, the 5th and 6th of February. The cost is $10 per vehicle and visitors will have the opportunity to spot a variety of birds, potentially including Great Blue Herons, Red-tail Hawks, Kestrels, and even Bald Eagles. There will be donuts and coffee available, along with binoculars to borrow if you don’t have your own.

According to Weather.com, there is only a 20% chance of rain on Saturday, and a 30% chance on Sunday – so some pretty good odds for great bird watching!
