SUMMARY:Rogue Valley Bird Day
DESCRIPTION:Rogue Valley Bird Day is a local celebration of World Migratory Bird Day\, a global campaign that serves as a beacon for conservation efforts to protect migratory birds and their journeys across borders. This year’s theme highlights the role of public participation in collecting data on migratory bird populations and their habitats\, and the factors that affect their populations and contribute to our knowledge of how to protect them. Community science\, ranging from backyard bird counts to large-scale coordinated surveys/schemes\, provides information on species distribution\, abundance trends\, migration timing\, and breeding success. \nJoin us at North Mountain Park for a morning full of bird activities from painting feathers to a bird calling contest.

SUMMARY:eBird Northwest an Artistic Reflection of Community Science
DESCRIPTION:Join the Klamath Bird Observatory and local artist Gatore Mukarhinda for an afternoon of creativity and conservation. We will have a shared creative space where we make bird‑inspired art together and explore how eBird turns our observations into conservation. \nBoth artmaking and community science begin with noticing. When someone sketches a bird\, builds a collage of feathers and colors\, or paints a migration path\, they are practicing the same attentive seeing that powers eBird checklists. Each act\, creative or scientific\, asks people to look closely\, to care about what they see\, and to share it with others. \nWe will be using the community space at Luna Cafe. There will be live music and light refreshments. All craft materials will be provided\, but feel free to bring additional craft materials for your project. \nCost: $10 per adult\, $5 per child\, registration required \nRefunds can be issued upon request. Please note that processing fees charged at the time of the original transaction are non‑refundable and will be withheld from the total refund. \nCover photo: Rock wren taken by Frank Lospalluto

SUMMARY:State of the Birds: An Artistic Reflection
DESCRIPTION:February 8th\, 4 pm – 6 pm\, @Luna Cafe\nLight Refreshments Provided\n$10 Adults $5 Kids\nPay for Two Adults\, Get One Kid FREE!\n \nJoin the Klamath Bird Observatory and local artist Gatore for an inspiring afternoon that blends conservation\, creativity\, and community. KBO will open the event with an engaging overview of the 2025 State of the Birds report\, which highlights both urgent challenges and hopeful pathways for bird conservation in the United States. This year’s assessment shows that one‑third of U.S. bird species now require immediate conservation action\, with steep declines across grasslands\, aridlands\, forests\, shorelines\, and even among waterfowl that had previously rebounded. These trends signal that the habitats birds—and people—depend on are rapidly disappearing\, underscoring the need for proven conservation solutions. \nFollowing the presentation\, Gatore Mukarhinda will lead a hands‑on crafting session where participants can upcycle past State of the Birds reports into creative works of art\, celebrating the stunning photography and honoring the species and habitats we strive to protect.

SUMMARY:Scott Valley Raptor Tour
DESCRIPTION:Please join KBO board members Dick Ashford and Amanda Alford for a hawk-finding outing to beautiful Scott Valley\, CA! November should show the early signs of raptor migration in the area; we will search for newly arrived migrants\, birds just passing through\, and local residents. \nWe’ll learn about and identify the raptors we see along our route\, taking us from just north of Fort Jones south to Etna\, crisscrossing the valley as we go. The tour will be conducted at a leisurely pace with time to watch individual raptors and (hopefully) enjoy observing behavior\, such as hunting\, feeding\, and inter and intra-specific interactions. There are no guarantees (it’s a natural show)\, but Dick will have scouted the area beforehand to locate the best spots. The image above is that of a bird Dick observed south of Fort Jones. Can you guess its ID? \nPlease be sure to dress comfortably and bring lunch and liquids. Most of our birding will be done from the roadside\, and walking will be kept to a minimum. And\, as is our custom\, we will not have a formal lunch stop but will eat as the birds do – all day long! \nWe’ll depart Ashland at 8 AM and return around 5-ish. Because of the narrow farm roads\, we are limiting this trip to just 10 attendees. We will carpool (a must!) \nCost: $50 per person \nDate: November 22nd \nWe’re looking forward to seeing you in the Field Of Wonder! \nIf you require accommodations or have questions about accessibility\, please contact Elva at ejm@klamathbird.org. \nWaiver of Liability Form

SUMMARY:Season by Season: The Oak–Bird Connection
DESCRIPTION:From acorns to birdsong\, explore the cycles that shape our landscapes. \nThis October\, step into the rhythms of the natural world with an engaging journey through the seasons of an oak tree and the birds that depend on them\, led by Jaime Stephens\, KBO’s Director of Conservation. We begin in the fall\, when acorns drop in abundance and Acorn Woodpeckers\, California Scrub-Jays\, and countless other species turn oak woodlands into bustling food stores. As summer’s breeding migrants head south\, new species arrive to spend the winter\, keeping oak woodlands lively year-round. In the spring\, oak blossoms and fresh leaves unleash a surge of insects\, perfectly timed for both resident and migratory songbirds as they raise their young. By summer\, shady oak canopies provide refuge and abundant food for fledglings preparing for independence. Season after season\, oaks serve as timekeepers—synchronizing their cycles with the shifting needs of birds and people alike. \nThis presentation blends wonder and science\, exploring how oak woodlands sustain life\, the threats they face\, and the inspiring stories of restoration where oaks and birds are thriving once more. Through photos and bird songs\, you’ll discover how your own connection to oaks fits into this larger cycle—and learn simple\, meaningful actions you can take to ensure these song-filled seasons continue for generations to come. \nWHEN: October\, 16th\, 5:30 pm to 7 pm \nWHERE: This is a hybrid presentation; a Zoom link will be emailed out after registration\, or you can join us in person at the KBO Office in Ashland. \nRegistration is required\, as well as KBO’s waiver of liability \n\n

SUMMARY:Hawk Watch
DESCRIPTION:For the last several years\, a small group of focused observers has taken their scopes up to the Modoc Rim to observe just a small fraction of the raptors that move through the Klamath Basin during fall migration. With a natural westerly breeze that is forced upward at the Modoc Rim\, raptors can’t help but follow the easy ride southward along that north-south escarpment. Each year\, falcons\, buteos\, eagles\, harriers\, Coopers’ and Sharp-shinned Hawks “float” past the gazers for brief looks. In between\, there is much standing\, discussing\, and observing as passerines move past\, also heading southward. \nVisiting prominent locations atop mountain ranges was a favorite of Patty Buettner. She was a dedicated biologist and was instrumental at the start of the bird banding in the Klamath Basin in the 1990s. For the last few years\, this annual Hawk Watch has been dedicated in her honor for her work with the Klamath Bird Observatory. Please support the continued efforts by Klamath Bird Observatory by donating in her honor and memory. The date for this year’s Hawk Watch will be Friday\, September 26\, from 9 to 3 pm.  \nObservers are welcome to participate. It is a long day in the sun\, so bring a hat\, sunscreen\, plenty of water\, food\, a chair\, a scope\, and binoculars. The time is spent mostly standing for long periods of time\, scanning the horizon\, looking for soaring birds in the distance. As raptors approach\, their ID is narrowed down using clues seen as they get closer. The location of the viewing area is accessed by ascending the road just N of Hagelstein Park. The road is a steep gravel road with some washboarding. At the top\, a spur road is taken to the rim where vehicles are parked. A short hike through brush\, with gear\, will take you to a location where you will spend the next six or so hours. If you are interested in participating\, please email Kevin Spencer at rriparia@charter.net. \nYou do not have to participate to donate. Please support the observers’ efforts by donating. There will be a follow-up article in the next Grebe that will summarize this day.

SUMMARY:Adventure to Brazil
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join the directors of Klamath Bird Observatory and Mantiqueira Bird Observatory for a 10-day adventure exploring the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil. The trip will be held August 13-22\, 2025. During the trip\, you will: \n\nVisit natural landscapes and enjoying scenic places;\nHike through a diversity of habitats;\nObserve birds and wildlife in nature;\nExperience local culture;\nLearn about birds\, bird observatories\, and international conservation;\nSupport Klamath Bird Observatory and Mantiqueira Bird Observatory science-based conservation beyond borders intern exchange program\n\nKlamath Bird Observatory is well known for its broad international reach\, focusing on partnerships and capacity building across the ranges of our shared birds. KBO’s bird banding internship program has trained over 283 interns from more than 17 countries. OAMa is a fruit of this capacity-building program\, which is now running its training program in Brazil. As part of the continued partnership between these two observatories\, we are pleased to announce a new internship exchange program! After training in their home country\, biologists will have the opportunity to visit and train at the other observatory. KBO will host a student from OAMa for three or six months each year\, and OAMa will host a student from KBO for up to three months at their field station in Brazil\, joining the local crew at the year-round bird monitoring on the Mantiqueira Highlands. \nIn addition to supporting the intern exchange program\, this trip will fund OAMa’s banding station for an ENTIRE YEAR! That includes six interns and one banding coordinator. Currently\, OAMa is the only banding training program in Brazil. \nThe cost is $5750 per person\, including in-country transportation\, single-occupancy lodging\, and meals with limited alcoholic beverages – the flight to Brazil is not included. The cost with a double occupancy discount is $5250 per person. \nA $ 3\,500 deposit is required to reserve your seat. The final payment is due six months prior to departure. Both the deposit and final payment are non-refundable. A portion of the cost directly supports the intern exchange program between the two bird observatories and is tax-deductible. The maximum trip size is 12 participants; some activities will be split into smaller groups. We reserve the right to cancel the trip before March 13th if the minimum number of attendees is not met. Trip activities will include moderate walking\, sometimes on uneven trails\, and away from facilities for half to full days. \nThis event is no longer accepting new registrations. If you would like to learn more about future trips to Brazil\, you can contact us here.

SUMMARY:“Up to the Siskiyou Crest (and Back)”: A History-and-Birding Auto Tour
DESCRIPTION: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). \nLots of history: The car-pool route will include various “History Stops” (but relatively little actual walking) at such important places as Railroad Tunnel #13 (site of the infamous and tragic DeAutremont Brothers’ botched train robbery of 1923); the old Siskiyou Pass; Grouse Gap shelter (just past Mt. Ashland); the 1850s-1860s “Mountain House” stage stop; the 1846 Applegate Trail; the Hill-Dunn cemetery; and other spots — i.e.\, returning the “back way” (through the upper-most Bear Creek Valley) to Ashland by mid-afternoon. \nBirding among the wildflowers! Along the Siskiyou Crest\, we’ll hike a short stretch of the Pacific Crest Trail near Mt. Ashland. Wildflowers – lupine\, gilia\, Oregon sunshine\, corn lily\, and many other species may be in profusion\, and we will identify and enjoy as many of the flowers and trees as we can. Various raptors should be spotted\, as well as many other birds\, ranging from migrant Green Towhees along the section of the Pacific Crest Trail to Bullock’s Orioles and Acorn Woodpeckers down at Emigrant Lake’s historic Hill-Dunn cemetery. We’ll also encounter and discuss lots of fascinating geology along the way. \nNote: This event is limited to 25 people. We will travel in a car-pool “caravan” of up to personal vehicles (with up to four people in each vehicle). Bring your binoculars\, lunch\, drinking water\, or other beverages\, and your questions for Frank\, Stacy\, and Jeff. And feel free to share your knowledge about what we see! \nWhen: Sunday\, July 13\, 8:30 AM. (We will be back in Ashland by no later than 4:30 and likely well before that.) \nWhere: 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.) \nMinimum donation: $50 per person
