The NEW Conservation Science Stamp set is here! Each set includes the Federal Duck Stamp, featuring the stunning Spectacled eider, and the KBO Conservation Science Stamp. This year the Conservation Science Stamp highlights the White-breasted Nuthatch and the oak habitat they rely on. When you purchase the Conservation Stamp Set, you’re joining birders, hunters, and conservationists who believe in preserving birds and their habitats.
There’s something special about a backyard alive with birds chirping, the flutter of wings, and the soft swish of a cat’s tail as they watch the action unfold. For nature lovers with feline companions, the dream is a backyard that welcomes birds while keeping cats safely and happily occupied.
With thoughtful planning, your outdoor space can become a vibrant, shared habitat where birds thrive, and cats stay content.
Whether you’re a newcomer to the region or an old-timer, participate in a fun and information-filled auto tour led by historian/author Jeff LaLande and noted birders Frank Lospalluto (a KBO consultant) and Stacy Taeuber (a KBO Board member).
When: Sunday, July 13, 8:30 AM. (We will be back in Ashland by no later than 4:30 and likely well before that.)
Where: Meet at the Rite Aid parking area (off Ashland Street, past Tolman Creek Rd) in the lot’s northeast corner. (Car-pooling will be necessary to keep the group to as few vehicles as possible.)
Minimum donation: $50 per person

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.
Come have fun with the Klamath Bird Observatory and the Shine on Band at Dunbar Farms. We will be rocking out Memorial Day Weekend, Saturday, 24th, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Dunbar Farms will serve their award-winning wine and delicious pizza.
