Peak Northwest

Guero Bird Club keeps bird watching fun


Listen Later

Birding is for everyone.

That’s the philosophy at Guero Bird Club, a Portland bird watching group run by local torta restaurant Guero, which for the last year has been leading regular bird walks for beginners and experts alike.

On today’s episode of Peak Northwest, we talk to Audrey Tawdry, co-founder of the Guero Bird Club, who brings a sense of community to her bird walks that she hosts at parks around the city.

Started in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the club is a part of the modern bird watching boom that focuses more on fun than bird counts. You can find the Guero Bird Club at guerotortas.com/birdclub or on Instagram @guerobirdclub.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

  • How Guero Bird Club got its start in the thick of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • The club draws bird watchers of all ages and abilities.
  • Birding became more of a mindfulness exercise during the pandemic.
  • Tips for beginner bird watchers.
  • Adding lyrics to birdsongs make them easier to identify.
