SUMMARY:Mindful Birding: Oct 7
DESCRIPTION:ECBA and the Deschutes Land Trust invite you to join us for a morning of (mostly) quiet shared enjoyment of our local birds. \nThis is a free event\, but limited to ten people. You are welcome to register for one or more of the three sessions. (You will need to click on each link and RSVP separately for each event you want to attend.) \n\n\nSeptember 30 near Sisters at Deschutes Land Trust’s Whychus Canyon Preserve.\nOctober 7 near La Pine at Deschutes Land Trust’s Paulina Creek Preserve\nOctober 14 near Bend at Tumalo State Park (participants will need to pay a state park admission fee to park for this event).\n\n\nStarting at 9:30 am\, for about ninety minutes\, we will sit outside together mostly just listening and observing. For those wanting to share\, there will be some opportunities to talk about the birds around us. \nThis is not a formal meditation practice – as long as it is not too distracting or disturbing to nature around us\, you are encouraged to move as you need to stay comfortable and there is no required method of enjoying our silence. We will ask people to refrain from talking during the fifteen to thirty minute quiet periods. This is a chance to pause together and\, somewhat unobtrusively\, be with and appreciate the birds around us. \nDesigned to be an inclusive and accessible event\, please let us know if you require any  accommodations. The sit area will be near several parking spaces for those with mobility needs.

SUMMARY:October Birders' Night
DESCRIPTION:Pinyon Jays – Abbott Schindler\n\nOctober Birders’ Night: Wild Stories from the History of Bird Migration Research\n\nJoin us for a Birders’ Night presentation from Rebecca Heisman.  We’ve all heard amazing facts about bird migration—the long distances that birds travel\, the ways that they navigate\, etc. But did you ever wonder how we figured all of this out? While working for the American Ornithological Society\, Rebecca Heisman became fascinated with the varied and creative techniques that scientists have used to study bird migration\, and this eventually became the basis for her book Flight Paths: How a Passionate and Quirky Group of Pioneering Scientists Solved the Mystery of Bird Migration. In her talk\, she’ll share some surprising stories from the history of bird migration research and discuss why understanding migration is so crucial for bird conservation.\n\n\nIf you cannot attend in person\, join on zoom.
