SUMMARY:Birders' Night--The Bird–Caterpillar Connection with LeeAnn Kriegh
DESCRIPTION:Caterpillars are the single most important insect in the diet of most terrestrial birds\, yet our knowledge of these larval marvels often begins and ends with The Very Hungry Caterpillar. So\, let’s get caught up on the latest research. We’ll explore the life cycles of each of the 160\,000 species of caterpillars (or at least a few of the best-known)\, discuss why these bristly sausages are so vital to nestling diets\, and learn a few simple ways we can boost caterpillar populations in our own backyards.  LeeAnn Kriegh is a woolly bear enthusiast and author of The Nature of Bend and The Nature of Portland. She’ll have the 2025 editions of both books available for sale at the talk. \nThe program will start at 6pm. Feel free to come early for dinner and a beverage. There is typically a nice group there by 5:00pm or so. \nSeating is first come\, first serve\, so come early! \nAnd Worthy Brewing offers a nice Happy Hour Menu from 3-6pm.

SUMMARY:Birders' Night: Fun with Sapsuckers with Steve Shunk!
DESCRIPTION:Fun with Sapsuckers! \nDid you know that sapsuckers have a paintbrush-tipped tongue? Did you know that one species is the world’s longest- distance migrant woodpecker? How about that one sapsucker is named for the daughter of German naturalist Johan Kaup\, who first described the Flammulated Owl? These are just a few of the fun facts you will learn from naturalist Steve Shunk when he returns to share stories of our amazing sapsuckers. Of course\, Steve will also discuss the perplexing puzzle of sapsucker hybridization\, with his best tips for identifying the “chupasavias” of Central Oregon. \nSteve Shunk learned about sapsuckers during his 27-year stint living on the east slope of the Cascades. His woodpecker research culminated in the publication of the Peterson Reference Guide to Woodpeckers of North America. In 2024\, Steve moved to Mexico’s Pacific Slope to live with Mexican naturalist Lizzy Martinez. They enjoy daily encounters with the endemic Golden-cheeked and Gray- crowned Woodpeckers from their backyard at the Rancho Primavera bird sanctuary. \nThe program will start at 6pm.  Note that the start time is 6pm\, not 7pm.\n\nFeel free to come early for dinner and a beverage.  Worthy Brewing offers a happy hour from 3-6pm.  We’re expecting a full house\, so please come a bit early to ensure that you get a seat.

SUMMARY:Birders' Night: Waddle We Do Without Penguins?
DESCRIPTION:Patty McGill will talk about the conservation status of penguins that live at lower latitudes and challenges they face.  Of these species\, she will emphasize African penguins\, found in South Africa and Namibia.  Last fall\, African penguins were declared Critically Endangered and they could be extinct in the wild in by 2035.  Patty serves as the Program Leader for a group of zoos and aquariums focused on saving African penguins\, and Patty will tell us about the array of projects the team leads and/or supports; these projects are focused on the most urgent and important conservation priorities. \nBackground: \nDr. Patty McGill received her PhD from Cornell University\, where she studied competition among species of gulls and also other species of seabirds.  She spent most of her career working in AZA accredited zoos\, in animal (bird) care and conservation.  She led the program to manage Humboldt penguins in zoos–and from there began to work with colleagues in South America on conservation & research projects on these penguins.  In one way or another Patty has worked with Humboldt penguins for 40 years\, and has been working with African penguins for about 10 years. \n

SUMMARY:Birders' Night: Central Oregon's Wolves--What a birder might want to know
DESCRIPTION:For over a decade\, wolves have been returning to Central Oregon.  This presentation will give a brief overview of the history and status of Central Oregon’s wolves\, followed by some observations\, research\, and speculations about how these wolves interact with and impact our local birds.  There will also be a guide to birding in wolf activity areas\, including how to identify and report wolf sign.\n\nAnder Rhoads is an eighth-grade homeschooler passionate about the quest for scientific facts relating to historically mythologized and persecuted animals. Ander has been lucky enough to spend a week in Yellowstone with the wolf biologist and author Rick McIntyre.  His current mentors include wolf biologists in ODFW and US Fish and Wildlife.  Most of Ander’s free time is spent tracking wolves in the Upper Deschutes and Metolious pack areas. Ander has authored articles on wolves\, including one published by the Nugget Newspaper.  He often presents on wolves at schools and other organizations\, including Oregon State Parks.  Ander is also an enthusiastic volunteer with the High Desert Museum and Sunriver Nature Center.  In addition to his interest in wolves\, Ander has been birding with his family in Central Oregon since they moved here in 2020.  Since he was ten years old\, Ander has co-led bird walks and assisted with bird surveys\, including recently co-mentoring students at the Sisters High School bird survey of Pine Meadow Ranch.\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Birders' Night: Pinyon Jays in Oregon
DESCRIPTION:Title: Pinyon Jays in Oregon – Life History\, Data\, and Monitoring Efforts \nPresenter: Claudia Funari\, Wildlife Biologist for the USFWS\, Bend Field Office \nThis presentation will give information on the life history of pinyon jays in Oregon\, review current data on their distribution and habitat use in Central Oregon\, and discuss recent and ongoing monitoring efforts\, including efforts supported by the ECBA. \nThe pinyon jay is a blue-gray jay that is an obligate bird of pinyon-juniper and other pine-juniper woodlands. Pinyon jays are highly social and form colonial flocks throughout the year. These tight-knit flocks can be up to a few hundred of individuals. They nest colonially and range widely for food foraging mainly on pine seeds\, insects\, and juniper berries depending on the season and availability. While their nomadic lifestyle to follow food resources can make their movements unpredictable\, they generally have a local home range and will nest in the same general vicinity from year to year. While no pinyon pine species occur within the breeding range of pinyon jay in Oregon\, pinyon jays are known to breed in ponderosa pine and juniper woodlands in central Oregon. The pinyon jay has suffered significant long-term population declines rangewide (over 80%) – the steepest declines of any bird in North America (BBS 2023). The pinyon jay is understudied and poorly known in most areas of its range\, and Oregon is no exception. Little is known about their populations here and there are no recent published studies on pinyon jays in Oregon. Most of the available information comes from local birders\, biologists\, and studies from other states (New Mexico and Arizona mainly). Since August 2023\, birders and biologists have put in countless hours trying to collect information on these gregarious birds. Due to this effort\, we’ve confirmed locations of nesting colonies and multiple colonial flock areas found around Sisters\, Redmond\, Tumalo\, Bend\, and Brothers. ECAS has supported this effort though banding efforts and training members on the use of the new citizen science pinyon jay monitoring app from Great Basin Bird Observatory (GBBO). These and other monitoring efforts are giving us a better understanding of populations\, habitat use\, and life history of this iconic pine-juniper obligate within central Oregon. Join us for Birders Night to learn more about his magnificent bird in Central Oregon.

SUMMARY:JUST ADDED: March Birders' Night: The Incredible Uniqueness of Baby Birds' Developmental Journey
DESCRIPTION:Title: The Incredible Uniqueness of Baby Birds’ Developmental Journey by Elise Wolf \nStep into the enchanting world of baby bird development! What’s so intriguing about these feathered marvels? Most baby birds are hidden from view\, yet each undertakes a unique and extraordinary developmental journey. From the cozy warmth of the nest to the exhilarating first flight to the bird’s hatch-year challenges\, we’ll explore the remarkable transformation of some of these tiny bundles of fluff into graceful avian wonders. We will delve into the fascinating uniqueness of baby birds as they navigate the challenges of fledging the nest and becoming self-sufficient. Join us as we celebrate the boundless wonders of some of our most interesting baby birds. \nElise Wolf has been a wildlife and habitat advocate for 30 years. In 2009\, she expanded into also caring for individual birds in need. After training with another rehabilitator for two years\, she founded Native Bird Care and started on an educational path to  work with birds that were in decline and help fill a critical gap in wildlife rehabilitation. Her training includes hands-on training with some of the top rehabilitators in the country\, along with multiple conferences and specialized research and study. \nElise is fascinated with the science behind every species of birds she cares for. To date\, she has treated 127 individual species (types) of birds\, from hummingbirds up to Trumpeter Swans. She personally writes the Native Bird Care blog and posts on Facebook\, applying her extensive knowledge about birds and other important issues. The Source and Nugget Newspapers in Central Oregon publish her writings as well. Community presentations are offered a couple of times a year. Elise will also present an occasional training class on avian rehabilitation. \nIf you cannot attend in person\, join on zoom.

SUMMARY:October Birders' Night
DESCRIPTION:Pinyon Jays – Abbott Schindler\n\nOctober Birders’ Night: Wild Stories from the History of Bird Migration Research\n\nJoin us for a Birders’ Night presentation from Rebecca Heisman.  We’ve all heard amazing facts about bird migration—the long distances that birds travel\, the ways that they navigate\, etc. But did you ever wonder how we figured all of this out? While working for the American Ornithological Society\, Rebecca Heisman became fascinated with the varied and creative techniques that scientists have used to study bird migration\, and this eventually became the basis for her book Flight Paths: How a Passionate and Quirky Group of Pioneering Scientists Solved the Mystery of Bird Migration. In her talk\, she’ll share some surprising stories from the history of bird migration research and discuss why understanding migration is so crucial for bird conservation.\n\n\nIf you cannot attend in person\, join on zoom.
