SUMMARY:Wednesday Birders
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday Birders is a group of birders\, birding\, but not a traditional field trip with a named leader who always provides a guided field experience. Everyone helps everyone else\, shares\, learns and enjoys birding together. Usually some advanced birders are there and are so helpful.  All are welcomed. We carpool when possible. \nAs times vary from week to week\, please watch COBOL for details and times which are usually announced a few days prior to Wednesday. \nAll the locations are listed on our website. From the home page\, select Birding Resources\, and from the drop-down menu\, you can choose Birding by County where you will get a list of favorite birding places including directions to the spots and what birds you might hope to find. \nOne of the goals of Wednesday Birders is to encourage everyone to use the ECBA birding site guides and get used to using those directions and the “how to bird it” tips for the locations. Simply select the county and the hotspots are listed alphabetically. \nImportant Notes: \n\nPlease remember to read COBOL by Tuesday mornings for last minute details and changes to plans in case of adverse weather\, road conditions or detours\, bird news or better birding opportunities. Watch COBOL for meeting and carpooling times and places or for changes in the plan.\nCOBOL is Central Oregon Birders Online.  It’s free to join.\nRemember to dress for the weather. Be prepared with food\, sunscreen\, etc. and bring a pair of binoculars. Spotting scopes are helpful on many trips.\n\nFor questions and for more information contact: brian.macdonald9@gmail.com or brianmacdonald0458 in Discord

SUMMARY:Worthy Garden Club Event: Refugia of the Blue Mountains
DESCRIPTION:Note that you must reserve your free spot for this event on EventBrite.  See here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/refugia-of-the-blue-mountains-tickets-1956788028669?aff=oddtdtcreator \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOverview\n\n\n\n\n\nA journey of art\, prose and poetry through the heart of Oregon’s Blue Mountains with author Marina Richie and watercolor artist Robin Coen.\n\n\n\nFrom vast wildlands to tiny habitat pockets\, refugia translates to safe havens and corridors for native plants and wildlife to survive dramatic climate changes. These places of refuge are essential for the future of life on this precious blue jewel of a planet. Nestled between the Rockies and the Cascades\, the Blue Mountains offer some of the last best refugia in the West and critical linkages for wildlife to move and find cooler homes as the climate warms up. \nHear readings from Marina Richie’s book\, Refugia of the Blue Mountain\, alongside Robin Coen’s art\, inspried by their time spent in this special place. Prints will be available for sale. Made possible through the Wild Blues Artist-in-Residency of the Greater Hells Canyon Council. For more info\, see: https://www.robincoenart.com/refugia-exhibit \nROBIN COEN \nMy love of “all things wild” emerged while growing up on a cattle ranch in the Elkhorn Mountains of Eastern Oregon. I shadowed my father through days of fence-mending\, irrigating fields and the occasional early morning horseback ride up the mountain to see the sunrise. My passion for nature and the West continues from my home in Boise and at the Good Bear Ranch (the family home place). Painting connects me to what matters most. The watercolors are not mine\, any more than the landscapes or wild beings in them are mine. They are expressions of what has been given to me\, to us\, to all who care to see. \nI am honored to be working with award-winning author Marina Richie who amplifies our message of compassion and solidarity with the natural world. Together\, we hope to inspire others to join us in preserving refugia—the wild heart of the Blue Mountains. \nDipping my brush to find the right color\, I deepen my understanding of the natural world. I paint small local wildflowers with native pollinators on a large scale. Portraying local wildlife and landscapes\, I strive to reveal intrinsic values as well as threats. I believe art can influence others toward a deeper understanding of our role in recovering planetary health. When I paint\, I feel the boundary recede between myself and all that lives. The intrusive edges of modern culture soften. I am unwrapping a gift\, looking into the face of a generosity that knows no bounds\, and experiencing a kinship that has no end. I hope this collection of images and prose inspires compassion and generosity toward the earth and for all beings\, both known and unknown\, for we humans have much to learn. \nMARINA RICHIE \nI am humbled to put words to Robin Coen’s watercolors\, which exquisitely express the theme of Refugia of the Blue Mountains. Her paintings are so alive you can almost hear the rush of the free-flowing Imnaha River or the wind sifting through five-needle clusters of the oldest limber pine. Robin’s paintings remind me of why I write prose and poetry. I strive to connect people to the natural world—to be curious\, to find the peace of wild things\, and to speak up for all who converse in the languages of kingfisher\, beaver\, pika\, marten\, wolverine\, salmon\, and hummingbird. \nObserving the intricacy of wild animal lives in wild places inspires my writing. Everywhere are relationships that are highly evolved over the eons\, and many in concert with wildfire\, wind\, and floods. In this era of climate crisis and mass extinction\, it’s critical to cut fossil fuel emissions and protect our carbon-storing and biodiversity-sheltering forests and other wildlands. \nRefugia of the Blue Mountains brings the wilds to the people—and we hope motivates you to experience the wilds\, whether observing a butterfly\, sipping nectar from a native wildflower near home\, or out hiking on the Blue Mountains Trail.
