SUMMARY:Hawk Watch at Green Ridge (Wed. Birders)
DESCRIPTION:Join on Oct. 1st with Wednesday Birders and/or Sat. Oct. 4th for an afternoon of hawk watching up on Green Ridge. David Vick will host. Although we no longer conduct formal counts\, this week has produced some big days in the past but it all depends on favorable conditions.  We will start at 12:00pm when afternoon winds and thermals have had a chance to develop.  Bring a lawn chair and keep an eye out for Varied Thrush and Sooty Grouse on the way up. \n\nDirections:  Turn off on the 11 Road at Indian Ford Campground and continue north until the pavement ends at about 8 miles. Stay left on the dirt roads for about 8 miles following the USFS signs for Green Ridge Fire Lookout.  I will have additional signs posted at the intersections.  There are several pot holes and a couple of high spots near the end but any passenger will be fine if driven judicially.  Car pooling is encouraged as parking is limited.  Hope to see you up there!\n\n\n\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Sandhill Crane Fall Count -- Malheur NWR (Volunteer!)
DESCRIPTION:Join Bird Alliance of Oregon and USFWS staff in surveying for Sandhill Crane pairs. This survey is part of an effort to reimagine crane monitoring at Malheur NWR and to better understand the impacts of invasive monocultures\, such as reed canarygrass\, on crane territories and reproduction at the refuge. In other words\, you can help refuge staff understand if Sandhill Cranes at Malheur are being negatively impacted by reed canarygrass\, particularly their ability to successfully hatch and rear colts. Most\, if not all\, routes on this survey will be driving routes. Camping gear will be available for participants to use during this event. There will potentially be bathrooms available on some\, but not all routes. \nCamping is provided for all of these community science weekends. There is camping gear available through our gear library. BIPOC\, LGBTQ+\, and disabled birders\, bird-enthusiasts\, and Malheur aficionados are welcome. Accessibility is noted in program description. \nFor more information\, contact Dr. Teresa “Bird” Wicks at twicks@birdallianceoregon.org \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:ODLT Volunteer Opportunity--Burrowing Owl Dig
DESCRIPTION:Volunteer Opportunity – Burrowing Owl Dig\n\nWhere: Brothers area\nWhat: Oregon Desert Land Trust (ODLT) needs six or more volunteers to dig holes for artificial burrows for burrowing owls at their Brothers-Shaw property. The project is based on models that have proven successful in similar efforts. A wildlife camera will also be installed to monitor any increased activity.\nWhen: Wednesday\, Oct. 2\, 2024  10:30 AM – 3:00 PM\nWhy: Burrowing owl activity has stopped in the area and creating artificial burrows could assist with their return. Burrowing owls are considered birds of conservation concern both federally and in Oregon. For nesting\, they depend heavily upon burrows created by other species\, especially badgers\, and sites with a lot of bare ground. Both preferences would be met at this project site.\nODLT formed in 2017 to conserve private lands in Oregon‘s high desert for the benefit of wildlife and people. The conservation of this 320-acre property has enabled researchers from Oregon State University and East Cascades Audubon Society to experiment with habitat improvements to boost the long-term survival of greater sage-grouse in the region.\nHow: Volunteers will dig holes 1-2 ft wide x 7-8 long x 3 ft deep to accomodate a channel of piping and a larger bucketed den space based on successful models.\n\nVolunteers will first meet coordinators at Brother’s Oasis Rest Area\, drive 5 min to ODLT’s Brothers-Shaw property\, then walk a quarter mile through sagebrush terrain with sand and large rocks\, and pass over/through a barbed-wire fence. Tools and supplies will be provided\, but personal items are welcomed.\n \nPlease find more information and register online:\nhttps://www.oregondesertlandtrust.org/owl-dig/\n\nContact Brandon Palmer for additional details:\nOregon Desert Land Trust\, 315 N Broadway Ave\, Burns OR 977720\nCell phone: (541)-589-5646 or email: bpalmer@oregondesertlandtrust.org
