ASTORIA — Lewis and Clark
National Historical Park in Fort Clatsop
will be participating in this year’s Great
Backyard Bird Count.
From Friday to Monday , visitors to the
park are invited to check out a pair of bin-
oculars and record their bird observations.
The worldwide Great Backyard Bird
Count is a joint project of the Cornell
Lab of Ornithology, the National Audu-
bon Society, Birds Canada and Wild Birds
Unlimited. Birdwatchers everywhere are
encouraged to participate in the count,
entering sightings at any location on one
or more days of the count at birdcount.org.
These sightings, gathered by tens of
thousands of participants, help to track
bird population changes.
Lewis and Clark National Historical
Park will also be sharing other bird-related
activities, including a “Great Pink Heron
Scavenger Hunt,” along the Netul Trail,
and a “Birds of Fort Clatsop” display at
the park’s Visitor Center. A variety of bird
fi eld guides and other items are available
for purchase.
The weekend’s birding events at Fort
Clatsop are sponsored by the Lewis &
Clark National Park Association and the
National Park Service.
Park hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
Admission is $10 and is free for those
under 15 years of age. Interagency passes
to National Park Service sites are accepted.
Ashleigh Flynn
& Th e Riveters
to perform at
Fort George
ASTORIA — Acclaimed solo artist
Ashleigh Flynn is set to perform at Fort
George Brewery on Thursday from 6 to
8 p.m.
Flynn grew up in Kentucky, draw-
ing inspiration from regional bluegrass
and Motown music. She arrived on
the Americana scene with the release
of her third LP, “American Dream,”
a poetic lament to the elusiveness of
that national ethos. “A Million Stars”
followed, a journey celebrating the
women pioneers of the American West.
Most recently, Flynn debuted a band.
An all-female lineup, the group gives
a nod to the 1940s Rosie the Riveter
archetype.
The show is free, masks are required
and other COVID precautions are
advised. Find out more about the show
from the Liberty Theatre in Astoria or at
