Siletz River | Fri | 09/27/19 | 11:30am - 02:00pm

Learn about the Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge and how it was established to return this salt marsh to its natural state. It is one of six such wildlife refuges on the Oregon Coast, and is home to stoic salt-starched skeleton trees which you might admire from your kayak. Living nearby is abundant bird life such as the Great Egret and lucky paddlers will see Red-tailed Hawks and Bald Eagles watchfully perched on sun bleached snags. You might enjoy a sighting of the Great Blue Heron stalking its prey by patiently standing still and then swiftly nabbing a passing fish with speed and grace.
