Audubon Society of Portland, Portland

This is a somewhat hidden hiking spot among the more popular Forest Park. The trails make for an easy, casual hike. On the north side of Cornell Road is the main building, gift shop, wildlife care center, and the more interesting trails where you're likely to see many types of birds including Pilate Woodpeckers and some nice valley views. The south side of the road has some longer, steeper hike with more forest views and less wildlife.

This is the first time I have taken an injured wild animal to Audobon. An older woman staff member with glasses said the restrooms are located inside the building. The buildings were locked and the lights were out and I ended up peeing outside. I affectionately named this female seagull, Ms. Blackwood, from Top Gun. I prayed with this seagull, I let her hear me sing, I prayed the mysteries. The day Ms. Blackwood, the seagull was injured was an important day for the Seattle Seahawks who ended up with a playoffs eliminating loss 25-24. I imagine the bird was injured just before the end of the game. Interesting. I was hauling my cat after buying some coffee and cat food and came across this heaped pile of feathers, adjusted her to a normal sitting position, felt her wing and discovered some bone poking tough. I tucked the seagull Ms. Blackwood under me arm and got home. I wrapped Ms. Blackwood in a towel and then a ribbon to keep her stable. To prevent further injury. I look forward to being called back to attend the release of Ms. Blackwood into the wild. I did not bring my first wildlife rescue to Audobon Society to have tge animal euthanized. I brought this animal, Ms. Blackwood, the seagull to Audobon Society to be fixed. Alis Volat Propriis

Wonderful. We took a baby Western Scrub Jay here. They gave us great hope. We walked the trails and saw what we could. It was just beautiful. I can't wait to go back and see more. My granddaughter was with me as well and had the best time. Pictures don't do it justice

I love fall/winter visits as it is easy to park and trails are not so busy. The rushing water and dropping moss is beautiful too. Our city park spaces are a treasure.

Wonderful place! Great birds and really cool crow. Look at that great blue heron. Awesome! Would highly recommend visiting. The staff was very kind and knowledgeable about avian creatures of all sorts.
