SUMMARY:Wednesday Birders
DESCRIPTION: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. \nAs times vary from week to week\, please watch COBOL for details and times which are usually announced a few days prior to Wednesday. \nAll 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. \nOne 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. \nImportant Notes: \n\nPlease 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.\nCOBOL is Central Oregon Birders Online.  It’s free to join.\nRemember to dress for the weather. Be prepared with food\, sunscreen\, etc. and bring a pair of binoculars. Spotting scopes are helpful on many trips.\n\nFor questions and for more information contact: dukedt@gmail OR brian.macdonald9@gmail.com or brianmacdonald0458 in Discord

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. \nAnd Worthy Brewing offers a nice Happy Hour Menu from 3-6pm.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Birders
DESCRIPTION: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. \nAs times vary from week to week\, please watch COBOL for details and times which are usually announced a few days prior to Wednesday. \nAll 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. \nOne 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. \nImportant Notes: \n\nPlease 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.\nCOBOL is Central Oregon Birders Online.  It’s free to join.\nRemember to dress for the weather. Be prepared with food\, sunscreen\, etc. and bring a pair of binoculars. Spotting scopes are helpful on many trips.\n\nFor questions and for more information contact: dukedt@gmail OR brian.macdonald9@gmail.com or brianmacdonald0458 in Discord

SUMMARY:Wildlife Action Day (OR State Capitol)
DESCRIPTION:Let’s speak up for Oregon’s wildlife! Join us for a day of action at the Capitol in Salem.  Many of Oregon’s iconic species\, including Gray Whales\, Chinook Salmon\, Tufted Puffins\, and American Pika are in decline\, and need our help. 1% for Wildlife is a bill with massive potential for boosting wildlife conservation\, and we are pushing hard to get it passed. This bill would raise the tourism tax by 1.25% and use the funds as dedicated wildlife conservation funding– the first of its kind. \nRally outside Capitol building\, meet with legislators\, and build camaraderie with fellow wildlife lovers. \nTo RSVP: \nhttps://birdallianceoregon.org/event/wildlife-action-day/ \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
