SUMMARY:Summer Lake Shorebird Survey
DESCRIPTION:Where:  Summer Lake Wildlife Area \nWhat:  Volunteers conduct counts of all shorebirds and other waterbirds (excluding waterfowl and American coots) across the entire Summer Lake Wildlife Area. \nWhen: Saturday & Sunday\, May 30 and 31\, 2026 \nWhy:    The survey was established in 2009 to monitor breeding shorebird and other waterbird populations and to document bird responses to habitat enhancement and management actions in each of Summer Lake Wildlife Area’s habitat management units. The Summer Lake Shorebird Survey has been conducted annually (except in 2020) since 2009. \nOn average\, over 3\,100 shorebirds representing the 9 breeding species have been counted.  In addition\, about 5 non-breeding shorebird species have been found each year.   \nSince 2009\, a total of 22 different shorebird species have been recorded including uncommon or rare species such as red knot\, wandering tattler and whimbrel. \nOther waterbirds such as waders\, gulls & terns\, grebes\, pelicans & cormorants\, sandhill cranes and rails are also counted and average over 1\,300 individuals and over 20 species. \nHow: Volunteers count from vehicles along roads\, and/or by foot hiking along dikes and levees\, cross country and/or wading through marsh and shallow ponds to survey all types of wetland habitat.  Volunteers willing to survey by wading/hiking (for 3 or 4 hours) into distant (1 to 2 miles from dikes/roads) are especially needed. \nIn the past\, bicycles\, canoes and kayaks have been used in some areas. \nBinoculars are essential and the use of spotting scopes in many areas is encouraged.     \nVolunteers meet at River Campground on Summer Lake Wildlife Area at 7:30 am and are assigned specific areas to survey. \nHistorically\, some volunteers have camped one of the Wildlife Area’s four primitive sites. Others have chosen commercial lodging at the Lodge at Summer Lake. \nIn the past\, the group found about 120 species of birds throughout the weekend of counting and birding. \nPlease contact Marty St. Louis for additional details and information. \nPO Box 68\, Summer Lake\, OR 97640 \nCell phone: (541)-219-0879 or email: stlouismartin541@gmail.com
