El evento tendrá lugar el 18 de junio a las 12:00 p. m. (hora del Pacífico).
Start your summer off right with a unique and super fun experience at beautiful Upper Klamath Lake on Monday, June 16th! This is a half-day, family-friendly outing to a Klamath Bird Observatory bird banding station only 1.5 hours from Ashland.
You will learn about and see our resident and migrant birds up close. You will also interact with KBO scientists and our bird banding interns. This is an opportunity to learn about the science of bird banding, including mist netting, data collection, and the life cycle of birds. For young people interested in a career with wildlife, ornithology, or fieldwork in general, this is a fantastic opportunity to see science in action.
Join Shannon and Kevin on a multiday exploration of the Klamath Basin. You will be staying at the ranch on Marsh Island. This is a donation-based trip, with a suggested contribution of $0-$250. We do not wish to deny anyone this experience due to cost. The donation covers accommodations and the birding day tours. You will need to bring all of your own food, bedding, and towels. There is a nice kitchen and several bathrooms with showers.
The ranch is built on top of a hill that was once an island due to the water in the Klamath marsh. This vantage point gives you amazing views of the marsh below. We will be staying at the ranch. The sleeping situation ranges from beds, cots, couches, to sleeping bags on the floor. We will ask for your preference below, but that may not be your final sleeping arrangement.

Oregon’s skies just got a little darker—and that’s great news for birds. Oregon Caves National Monument and Preserve has been named the state’s second international dark sky park, a designation that highlights not only its stunning starry skies but also its role in supporting bird conservation. This achievement aligns with a growing understanding of the harmful effects of light pollution on wildlife, especially migratory birds.
In celebration of International Women’s Month, we would like to introduce you to some of the amazing women who make up the KBO Data Science Team. Here, they respond to a series of questions about their experience as women in science.
The State of the Birds 2025 report has been delivered to the American people by scientists from more than two dozen conservation groups and agencies, including Oregon-based Klamath Bird Observatory. This report paints a concerning picture of declining bird populations in the United States. The report also underscores the significant environmental, economic, and human benefits of bird conservation and birdwatching to millions of Americans.
At the Klamath Bird Observatory (KBO), we are a proud partner of the Klamath Siskiyou Oak Network (KSON), which collaborates with the community and partners within the Klamath Siskiyou Bioregion to promote the restoration and conservation of oak habitats. This week, we have two exciting announcements: a new website (https://oakalliance.org/partnerships/kson/) and The Prairie, Oaks, and People Investment Strategy is now LIVE!
