KLCC RADIO: Birder Noah Strycker Reflects On His Record-Breaking “Big Year”
I meet Noah Strycker early on a rainy morning at Fern Ridge Reservoir in West Eugene. He says this is the best birding spot in Western Oregon. “In the winter, 10s of thousands of Canada Geese and hundreds of tundra swans roost out here at night and in the morning, they fly out to all the farm fields so they can spend the day eating out there. What I’m hoping is a few will fly over our heads while we’re standing out here.”
