March 2023

Leaders are needed this spring and summer to help guide ECBA’s popular field trips. Time commitment is 2-6 hours depending on the field trip. An ECBA administrative member will work with you to help plan and advertise the field trip at a location of your choosing. If you’ve ever enjoyed an ECBA field trip in the past, this is your chance to pay it forward and help guide other ECBA members and new birders!

To express an interest in leading a field trip, email ecaudubon@gmail.com or fill out a Volunteer Interest Form if you are new to ECBA.

The Pinyon Jay

Here in Central Oregon, for over 10 years, ECBA volunteer Kevin Smith has invested his time and inspired others to report sitings of Pinyon Jays, and over the last 5 years Ken Hashagen, together with Kevin, have helped provide banding data to ODFW and the USGS Birding Lab. Now ECBA volunteers and the USFWS have an exciting opportunity to work together to study these birds in a brand new way! Photo courtesy of Abbott Schindler

Oregon Desert Land Trust is a local non-profit that is uniquely focused on conserving Oregon’s high desert, a region covering a quarter of the state and spanning more than ten million acres. Trout Creek, photographer, Jarrod Messman
