A Season of Birds, Community, and Creativity
Is your New Year’s resolution to learn more about birds and deepen your support for bird conservation? The Klamath Bird Observatory has you covered with three fantastic events to kick off the year.
Hawk Talk and Walk
Raptors are magnificent—and often challenging—to identify. Join expert Dick Ashford for an evening presentation on Wednesday, January 14th, from 6:00–8:30 PM, where he’ll share tips and tricks for recognizing hawks in the field. Then put your new skills into practice during a guided field trip to the Klamath Basin on Saturday, January 17th. Winter in the Basin is a spectacular time for raptor diversity. Register here.
Travel with Purpose
Looking to make a bigger impact on bird conservation? Join us for an evening of food, friends, and inspiration on Saturday, January 17th, from 5:00–8:00 PM. We’ll introduce our new Travel with Purpose program and share details about our upcoming 2026 trips to Bear Divide (May 6th – May 9th, 2025) and Brazil (September 3–12, 2026). Meet trip leaders, connect with past participants, and learn how meaningful travel can support conservation. This event is free—please register here.
State of the Birds: An Artistic Reflection
Some feelings about our connection to nature are hard to capture in words alone. Art can help us express them in new and powerful ways. On February 8th, from 4:00–6:00 PM, join KBO and local artist Gatore at Luna Café for a creative, community-centered event. Explore the State of the Birds, then help us transform old reports into beautiful, repurposed works of art. This family-friendly gathering is a wonderful way to connect, create, and reflect.
