Come join KBO biologists and this season’s interns for a bird banding experience in the field!
This is a fundraiser for KBO’s long-standing and well-respected international field biologist training program. It is a unique opportunity to meet some of our scientists in a small group setting, learn about the science of bird banding, and see some of Oregon’s birds up close. We will observe live bird banding including mist netting and data collection and learn more about Southern Oregon’s migrating and resident birds all while in the field in the beautiful Upper Klamath Lake region. Come join us and support future scientists! Monday, June 17th, 6:30 a.m. to noon (inclusive of drive time to and from Ashland).

Join KBO’s bird banding team in the field on July 21st, for a bird banding experience. This is a unique opportunity to meet some of our scientists in a small group setting, learn about bird banding and see some of Oregon’s birds up close. You will experience a beautiful Upper Klamath Lake field station and observe live-action science, including mist netting and data collection. This is an excellent introduction to science in the field for kids and young adults (as well as great for non-birders, almost birders, and fully-fledged birders). Come and have fun in the field with us!

In 2019, KBO partnered with the Bureau of Land Management to initiate a new long-term bird monitoring project in eastern Oregon as part of the Integrated Monitoring for Bird Conservation Regions (IMBCR) program. Our fieldwork brought us far from our home in Ashland, Oregon to monitor birds in the sagebrush habitats of eastern Oregon, stretching KBO’s point count program out all the way to the Idaho border!

Klamath Bird Observatory Senior Research Biologist Dr. Sarah Rockwell recently joined the Hannah and Erik Go Birding podcast to discuss the Oregon Vesper Sparrow and KBO’s efforts to better understand and conserve this imperiled bird. During the episode, Sarah introduces listeners to this modest-looking grassland sparrow and explains how its population can help us understand the health of the habitats it depends on throughout its annual cycle.
