Join Klamath Bird Observatory for a unique\, fun\, and family-friendly visit to a bird banding station near beautiful Upper Klamath Lake! \nDuring this half-day field outing\, you will have the chance to learn about resident and migratory birds and see some of them up close. Participants will meet KBO scientists and bird banding interns\, learn how bird banding supports conservation science\, and get a behind-the-scenes look at field research in action. \nThis is a wonderful opportunity for families\, students\, young birders\, and anyone curious about birds\, wildlife\, or conservation. Young people interested in careers in wildlife biology\, ornithology\, ecology\, or outdoor fieldwork will especially enjoy seeing how scientists collect data and study birds in the field. \nEach outing is donation-based\, with a suggested donation of $0 to $75 for this special experience. We especially encourage young folks and students to attend. \nThe event runs from 6:00 am to noon\, including driving time. We will carpool from Ashland. The banding station is about 1.5 hours from Ashland.  If you are coming from the Klamath Falls area\, we can arrange to meet you at Rocky Point instead of Ashland. \nPlease bring snacks\, water\, and any other drinks you may need. Wear sturdy shoes and dress in layers\, as it will likely be cool in the early morning. \nNew to KBO events or your first for 2026? Please fill out the KBO liability waiver here.  \n\n\n \n \n Registration: Bird Banding Trip to Upper Klamath August\n \n \n Contact DetailsName(Required)\n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n Enter Email\n \n \n \n Confirm Email\n \n \n \n PhoneAddress \n \n \n Street Address\n \n \n Address Line 2\n \n \n City\n \n \n State / Province / Region\n \n \n ZIP / Postal Code\n \n \n Country\n AfghanistanAlbaniaAlgeriaAmerican SamoaAndorraAngolaAnguillaAntarcticaAntigua and BarbudaArgentinaArmeniaArubaAustraliaAustriaAzerbaijanBahamasBahrainBangladeshBarbadosBelarusBelgiumBelizeBeninBermudaBhutanBoliviaBonaire\, Sint Eustatius and SabaBosnia and HerzegovinaBotswanaBouvet IslandBrazilBritish Indian Ocean TerritoryBrunei DarussalamBulgariaBurkina FasoBurundiCabo VerdeCambodiaCameroonCanadaCayman IslandsCentral African RepublicChadChileChinaChristmas IslandCocos IslandsColombiaComorosCongoCongo\, Democratic Republic of theCook IslandsCosta RicaCroatiaCubaCuraçaoCyprusCzechiaCôte d'IvoireDenmarkDjiboutiDominicaDominican RepublicEcuadorEgyptEl SalvadorEquatorial GuineaEritreaEstoniaEswatiniEthiopiaFalkland IslandsFaroe IslandsFijiFinlandFranceFrench GuianaFrench PolynesiaFrench Southern TerritoriesGabonGambiaGeorgiaGermanyGhanaGibraltarGreeceGreenlandGrenadaGuadeloupeGuamGuatemalaGuernseyGuineaGuinea-BissauGuyanaHaitiHeard Island and McDonald IslandsHoly SeeHondurasHong KongHungaryIcelandIndiaIndonesiaIranIraqIrelandIsle of ManIsraelItalyJamaicaJapanJerseyJordanKazakhstanKenyaKiribatiKorea\, Democratic People's Republic ofKorea\, Republic ofKuwaitKyrgyzstanLao People's Democratic RepublicLatviaLebanonLesothoLiberiaLibyaLiechtensteinLithuaniaLuxembourgMacaoMadagascarMalawiMalaysiaMaldivesMaliMaltaMarshall IslandsMartiniqueMauritaniaMauritiusMayotteMexicoMicronesiaMoldovaMonacoMongoliaMontenegroMontserratMoroccoMozambiqueMyanmarNamibiaNauruNepalNetherlandsNew CaledoniaNew ZealandNicaraguaNigerNigeriaNiueNorfolk IslandNorth MacedoniaNorthern Mariana IslandsNorwayOmanPakistanPalauPalestine\, State ofPanamaPapua New GuineaParaguayPeruPhilippinesPitcairnPolandPortugalPuerto RicoQatarRomaniaRussian FederationRwandaRéunionSaint BarthélemySaint Helena\, Ascension and Tristan da CunhaSaint Kitts and NevisSaint LuciaSaint MartinSaint Pierre and MiquelonSaint Vincent and the GrenadinesSamoaSan MarinoSao Tome and PrincipeSaudi ArabiaSenegalSerbiaSeychellesSierra LeoneSingaporeSint MaartenSlovakiaSloveniaSolomon IslandsSomaliaSouth AfricaSouth Georgia and the South Sandwich IslandsSouth SudanSpainSri LankaSudanSurinameSvalbard and Jan MayenSwedenSwitzerlandSyria Arab RepublicTaiwanTajikistanTanzania\, the United Republic ofThailandTimor-LesteTogoTokelauTongaTrinidad and TobagoTunisiaTurkmenistanTurks and Caicos IslandsTuvaluTürkiyeUS Minor Outlying IslandsUgandaUkraineUnited Arab EmiratesUnited KingdomUnited StatesUruguayUzbekistanVanuatuVenezuelaViet NamVirgin Islands\, BritishVirgin Islands\, U.S.Wallis and FutunaWestern SaharaYemenZambiaZimbabweÅland Islands \n \n \n Event DetailsHow did you hear about this event?(Required)Social MediaGoogleWord of MouthEmailOtherHave you attended a KBO event before?\n \n \n Yes\n \n \n \n No\n Payment DetailsNumber of tickets needed(Required)Price\n \n Total\n \n Credit Card\n \n Submit URL:https://klamathbird.org/event/family-friendly-bird-banding-outing-at-upper-klamath-lake-3-2/ CATEGORIES:Field Trip ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://klamathbird.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/IMG_2590.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260903 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260913 DTSTAMP:20251003T181818Z CREATED:20251003T181818Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251003T181818Z UID:21757-1788393600-1789257599@klamathbird.org SUMMARY:Brazil – Atlantic Forest Adventure DESCRIPTION:Join Klamath Bird Observatory and Mantiqueira Bird Observatory for a 10-day adventure in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest\, September 3–12\, 2026.

The series includes five afternoon workshops and four full days of guided field trips. \nThe workshop begins Thursday\, September 24\, from 4:00–6:00 p.m. with a session covering composition\, camera settings\, and techniques for photographing perched birds and birds in flight. Following Friday’s field trip\, participants will upload photographs to a computer or external hard drive\, efficiently review and select images\, and prepare files for processing. The session will also include further discussion of bird photography strategies. \nAfter Saturday’s field trip\, participants will process photographs in Adobe Lightroom. While Lightroom will be used for demonstrations\, the concepts will apply to most photo-editing programs. Sunday’s field trip will be followed by a hands-on editing session\, with experienced photographers available to offer assistance and suggestions. The workshop will conclude on Monday with a final field trip and an informal presentation of photographs taken by participants during the week\, followed by a question-and-answer period. \nThe workshop is camera-\, computer-\, and software-agnostic. Presenter Marty Karlin will demonstrate techniques using a Nikon camera\, Mac computer\, and Lightroom\, but KBO associates familiar with a variety of camera brands\, computer platforms\, and editing programs will also be available to assist. \nParticipants should have some photography experience and a basic understanding of camera settings\, including ISO\, shutter speed\, aperture\, and\, ideally\, exposure compensation. Please bring your camera to Thursday’s workshop. For the remaining sessions\, participants with photo-processing software are encouraged to bring a fully charged laptop\, mouse\, card reader\, and/or external hard drive. Please make sure all equipment is fully charged before each session. \nParticipants without a laptop or editing software are still welcome to attend. You may sit with another participant or follow along with the instructor’s presentation. Marty will also assign a small amount of pre-workshop homework to help everyone prepare. \nFor the field trips\, bring your camera\, your longest lens\, and a teleconverter if you have one. A lens of 500mm or longer is highly recommended for bird photography. Participants who do not own a long lens may want to consider renting equipment through Lensrentals or other rental options. \nParticipants will be divided into two or three field groups\, depending on enrollment. Each group will have a birding guide and photography consultant and will visit a different location each day. Over the four field days\, participants will explore several birding hotspots in Jackson and Klamath counties\, with an emphasis on finding good opportunities to observe and photograph birds at a respectful distance. \nGroups will remain in communication throughout the day so that unusual or exciting sightings can be shared. Many participants are accomplished birders and photographers who are eager to share their knowledge and experience. Bird photography takes a village\, and we have one. \nParticipants should bring their own lunches\, beverages\, and snacks for each field day. \nBird Photography Workshop 5-Day Syllabus\nWorkshop details:\nSeptember 24–28\, 2026 \n\n\n\nDate\nTime\nDaily Focus\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, September 24\n4:00–6:00 p.m.\nLearn camera settings and practical techniques for photographing bird portraits and birds in flight.\n\n\nFriday\, September 25\n8:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.\nGuided field trip with opportunities to practice composition\, camera settings\, and field techniques.\n\n\n\n4:00–6:00 p.m.\nUpload\, organize\, select\, and prepare photographs for processing.\n\n\nSaturday\, September 26\n8:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.\nGuided field trip to continue practicing bird photography techniques in the field.\n\n\n\n4:00–6:00 p.m.\nIntroduction to processing and editing photographs in Lightroom.\n\n\nSunday\, September 27\n8:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.\nGuided field trip focused on building skills and capturing images for the afternoon work session.\n\n\n\n4:00–6:00 p.m.\nParticipant processing session with time to edit photographs and receive assistance.\n\n\nMonday\, September 28\n8:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.\nFinal guided field trip and opportunity to put the week’s lessons into practice.\n\n\n\n4:00–6:00 p.m.\nParticipant presentations featuring selected photographs from the workshop.\n\n\n\nPlease note: Some field trips may begin as early as 6:00 a.m.\, including potential outings to photograph Great Gray Owls or visit locations in Klamath County.

He started teaching in the 1960s\, and used technology extensively in the classroom since the 1980s. He taught in the education department at St Mary’s College in California during the 1980s. His latest paid gig was as Coordinator of Instructional Technology at Southern Oregon ESD. These days\, and for the past 20 years you can find him with Terry\, his better half\, behind a camera\, out in the field somewhere where she’s the brains and he the tool. The primary purpose of his photography has been to document the photographically cooperative birds they have seen. Incorporating artistic aspects into those pictures has become a natural extension. See his Smugmug website for their latest endeavors including a trip to Finland and Northern Norway at mrtk.smugmug.com. \nBird and Photography Guides:\nShannon Rio\nFrank Lospalluto\nJim Livaudais\nNick Viani\nKeeley Kirkendall\nMarty Karlin \nCost: This is a fundraising event for the Klamath Bird Observatory\, and donations will be accepted on a sliding scale from $500 to $ 1\,000.
