Whether seeking flurries of waterfowl and the greatest winter concentration of Bald Eagles in the Lower 48 States at the Klamath Basin; forest birds, puffins, gulls, terns and shorebirds along the state’s scenic and forested Pacific coastline; montane species atop the lofty snow-clad peaks of the Cascade Range that divides Oregon; raptors and grouse of the rain shadowed sagebrush flats of the dry east; shore birding hotspots such as Tillamook spit near Tillamook; the famous spring “migrant traps” at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in the southeastern Great Basin; or on a business trip to Portland, Eugene, Kennewick, and points between, you’ll be glad to have this booklet.
This affordable guide will serve as a lasting momento of any trip and will conveniently fit into any daypack, pocket or glove-compartment, facilitating easy field identification—whether in a Portland garden, on a family vacation, or a serious birding trip visiting all the best birding hot spots within Oregon.

About Greg Homel
Greg R. Homel is an ornithologist, award-winning international nature photojournalist, documentary film producer, birding tour leader and lecturer. He lives and works from his home within the magnificent Los Padres National Forest, California, USA (home of the California Condor) and from his second homes at Río Lagartos, surrounded by the magnificent Ría Lagartos National Park and Biosphere Reserve at the north tip of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula and El Tuito, near Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico. A birder-naturalist since childhood, Greg founded Natural Elements Productions in 1986 and Natural Encounters Birding Tours shortly thereafter. Now he travels the globe on a full-time basis in search of rare and little-known birds and other wildlife. He shares his unbounded (and contagious) enthusiasm through excursions for small groups worldwide, and with a wider audience through state-of-the-art digital lectures, television, and wide variety of publications and video productions. Throughout his life, but especially since the early 1990s, Greg has guided, educated, and inspired travelers in over 80 countries throughout the world. His travels on all seven continents, from the Arctic Circle to the Antarctic and points between, have allowed him to see more than half of the planet’s roughly 9,800+ bird species in their natural habitats. His early work appeared regularly in books and magazines, including Wildbird Magazine, The Audubon Society Field Guides to Eastern Birds and The Audubon Society Field Guides to Western Birds, Time, Birder’s World, Tucson Lifestyle, and Texas Monthly magazines. Since the “digital revolution,” Greg has moved into television, video production for conservation groups such as American Bird Conservancy, field guide writing and lecturing aboard expedition ships with the hope of “giving a voice to his truest love, which is the natural world and its inhabitants, especially birds!”
