This 2025 Annual Report celebrates Klamath Bird Observatory’s 25 years of advancing bird conservation through science, education, and partnerships. The report brings together highlights from across KBO’s programs, including bird banding, point counts, riparian bird studies, GPS tracking, professional development, outreach, education, and published research. Together, these stories and numbers show how long-term monitoring, hands-on training, and community engagement help turn bird observations into meaningful conservation action.

*NEW* Klamath Bird Observatory’s 2026–2027 Conservation Science Stamp celebrates the Rufous Hummingbird, one of the West’s most remarkable migratory pollinators and a powerful symbol of connected habitat conservation. Tiny but mighty, Rufous Hummingbirds weigh less than a nickel and can travel thousands of miles between breeding areas in the Pacific Northwest, Canada, and Alaska, and wintering areas in Mexico and the southeastern United States. Their annual journey depends on native flowers, insects, forests, meadows, riparian areas, post-fire landscapes, and safe migration stopovers across western North America. Your stamp purchase supports KBO’s mission to advance bird and habitat conservation through science, education, and partnerships.

Across the Pacific Northwest, Klamath Bird Observatory scientists are using innovative tracking technology to uncover the hidden journeys of some of our most vulnerable and least-understood birds. Now, you can be part of that discovery.

We’re excited to launch Adopt-a-Tag, a new giving program that directly supports KBO’s bird movement research. By sponsoring a tag, you help put cutting-edge tools, GPS tags, Motus tags, and satellite transmitters into the field, where they reveal how birds move, where they stop, what habitats they depend on, and what challenges they face throughout the year.
