This weekend's events at Smith and Bybee will give birdwatchers something to flock to: join Metro Naturalist James Davis as he takes guests on a tour of many different birds who are passing the fall at Smith and Bybee. Even if birding isn't your pastime, Metro has plenty more opportunities to get out this weekend. Join Metro and SOLV to plant trees at Beaver Creek or meet the famous Oregon pioneers interred at Lone Fir Pioneer Cemetery. The best part is, most of the events are low-cost or free, and registration can be completed online. Follow the links below for more information.
