The next Eugene Birders Night (SWOC) meeting will be held Monday November
21st, 2016 at 7 pm at the McNail-Riley house, 601 W 13th Ave, Eugene. The
McNail-Riley House is the restored historic house at the NW corner of W.
13th Ave. and Jefferson St. The parking area, located immediately west of
the McNail-Riley House, can be accessed from Jefferson St. via the driveway
located immediately north of the M-R House.
After initial introductions, we’ll share recent sightings and discuss
birding connected topics. Then Scott McNeeley will share his over 200
photos showing markings for identifying the birds of Oregon. Scott has
divided his photos into 5 areas: birds from his backyard (an mini birders
paradise by a backwater of the Willamette River), the coast, the I-5
corridor, central Oregon, and eastern Oregon. Scott had only been a
serious birder for several years before he decided to do an Oregon Big
Year. His presentation will illustrate how a thoughtful approach, the
support of fellow birders, and the focusing and impetus that a goal
provides will not only increase one's skill as a birder, but also serve to
make the considerable undertaking of a Big Year accessible to all who
commit themselves to the experience.
No entrance fees! All are welcome!
