Wednesday Birders 2024
2024-04-17 00:00, 2024-04-10 00:00, 2024-04-03 00:00, 2024-03-27 00:00, 2024-03-20 00:00 | OR
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.
As times vary from week to week, please watch COBOL for details and times which are usually announced a few days prior to Wednesday.
All 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.
One 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.
Important Notes:

Please 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.
COBOL is Central Oregon Birders Online. It’s free to join.
Remember to dress for the weather. Be prepared with food, sunscreen, etc. and bring a pair of binoculars. Spotting scopes are helpful on many trips.

JUST ADDED: March Birders' Night: The Incredible Uniqueness of Baby Birds' Developmental Journey
2024-03-21 19:00 - 21:00 | Environmental Center, 16 N.W. Kansas Ave., Bend, OR
Title: The Incredible Uniqueness of Baby Birds’ Developmental Journey by Elise Wolf
Step 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.
Elise 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.
Elise 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.

ONDA's A Journey Through the Owyhee Canyonlands
2024-02-08 18:30 - 19:30 | OR
Oregon’s Owyhee Canyonlands is one of the largest conservation opportunities in the country. Join ONDA Board Members, Elisa Cheng and Natasha Bellis, at a 2024 High Desert Speaker Series event as they reflect on their spring rafting trip down the Owyhee River on an exploration of this incomparable region. They’ll discuss the Owyhee’s awe-inspiring natural landscapes, rich culture and history, key wildlife habitats and many recreation opportunities. Karly Foster, ONDA’s Campaign Manager, will share conservation advocacy initiatives you can support to counter threats to the region and ensure that the Owyhee is protected.
About the Presenters
Elisa Cheng grew up in California and Hawaii. She launched her web design career in 2002 spending a few years at an eCommerce company before realizing that her passion was in helping non-profits. From there she moved into a role helping non-profits of all sizes with their online presence. She now works as a digital consultant helping small businesses and non-profits expand their digital presence through SEO, marketing, web design, social media, and digital strategy. Elisa moved to Bend, Oregon from Honolulu, Hawaii in 2010 and loves all of the outdoor opportunities right out her door in Bend.
Growing up in Wyoming and Utah, Natasha Bellis gained an early appreciation for wild and open spaces. Cultivating a love of the desert by roaming the canyon lands of southern Utah, she was inspired to pursue a career in environmental studies and has spent the past 20 years working to conserve and protect natural resources. Natasha is currently a Program Manager with the Deschutes River Conservancy where she works to restore streamflow to Oregon’s rivers and streams by negotiating instream water right transactions and helping to shape state water law and policy. Natasha holds a masters of science in environmental studies from the University of Montana and a JD from Lewis and Clark Law School with a certificate in Environmental and Natural Resource Law. As a former law clerk with ONDA, Natasha is excited to return to the organization as a board member.
As ONDA’s Campaign Manager, Karly Foster develops and executes conservation campaign initiatives across millions of acres of Oregon’s high desert public lands at the local, regional and national levels and with Tribal Nations, by building relationships with diverse stakeholders and community partners to secure protection for public lands, waters and wildlife. Karly grew up in the western Willamette Valley and as a fourth-generation Pacific City, Dory-fisher, her summers were spent fishing with her family in the Pacific Ocean. She received her bachelor’s in socio-cultural anthropology and Indigenous Nations studies at Portland State University. During undergrad, she attended Tatoosh School in the Tongass National Forest, studying southeast Alaska ecology and policy of place. Karly followed the coastal winds and eventually lived on organic farms in Aotearoa (New Zealand), where her views of what conservation, natural resource management, and Indigenous rights can look like, expanded. Karly graduated from the McCall Field Campus of the University of Idaho with a master’s degree in environmental science and a certificate in environmental education and science communications in 2022. Her next stop was a research assistantship with a National Science Foundation grant in the Rocky Mountains, which reignited her love for the ponderosa pine forests and sagebrush meadows she’d grown up with while camping in Central Oregon. Karly is excited to grow with ONDA in this beautiful place, learn of all the socio-ecological intricacies of Oregon’s high desert and be a strong advocate for its eternal prosperity.
