Bird Alliance of Oregon on Cornell was having a baby shower, as spring is a busy time for animal rehabbers.
This had previously been an Audubon location; I had visited it long ago.
One thing I remember at the time is that the trails were very steep.
That makes sense; this is the West Hills. The Wildwood Trail that starts in Washington Park, passes through Hoyt Arboretum and connects to Forest Park goes through here too.
In some ways there is not a lot to see; animals are generally kept private as they recover and are readied for a return to nature.
The one exception is Julio, who imprinted on humans when very young and is a permanent resident.
That may make the alliance better for events.
There was lots of cute decor for the baby shower, along with food and games.
They even had a camera set up so you could view two of the baby owls being cared for.
Their site has information on classes and camps, so there are various ways to participate and support the mission.
COVID: I wore a mask inside the party and at the store. Most of the area is outside. As stated previously...
Accessibility: that outside is steep! For getting around the buildings and even between them, mobility devices should be fine. Once on the trails, even with no impairment I think walking sticks are a good idea.
