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:Hawk Watch at Green Ridge
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: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!

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
