Visit a KBO banding station in the Upper Klamath
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.
This is a donation-based event with a suggested donation of $0 to $75 for this unique and very special opportunity. We especially encourage young folks and students to attend! The event is from 6:00 am to noon, inclusive of driving time. If you are from the Klamath Falls area, we can arrange to meet you at Rocky Point instead of Ashland. Please bring snacks, water, or other drinks. Wear sturdy shoes and layers as it will be cool in the early morning.
