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: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:INTERMOUNTAIN WEST SHOREBIRD SURVEYS
DESCRIPTION:VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY — INTERMOUNTAIN WEST SHOREBIRD SURVEYS \nFall Peak Migration Survey Windows: August 9-22nd \nhttps://www.imwss.org/ \nShorebirds represent important species diversity and are indicators of environmental health. \nWetland sites across the Intermountain West are oases for migratory shorebirds. A comprehensive shorebird survey was last completed across the region in 1989-1995\, but much has changed in the past 30 years. This Shorebird Survey is replicating the census of the past so we can better manage shorebirds into the future. \nThe shorebird survey objectives are: \n\n\nDocument the distribution and abundance of shorebirds at over 200 survey areas during the spring and fall migrations from 2022-2026. \n\n\nUse survey data to compare distribution and abundance with the historical shorebird survey from 1989-1995. \n\n\nIdentify factors that influence abundance of shorebirds. \n\n\nWe are recruiting volunteers to survey at wetland sites across the West. Join us and be a part of the collective impact!
