Find out what nine new species were added to the newly revised sixth edition of the Birds of Jackson Count, Oregon brochure. Lead Editor Nate Trimble (shown here) and his volunteer team worked on the update for the past year. Nate meticulously researched the many changes to birds and their favorite habitats in the Rogue Valley over the past five years. The taxonomic order was also updated along with species whose names changed. Many birding hotspot locations were also changed or deleted due to access issues or the recent wildfires.

The new cover art is an original color drawing of the Nashville Warbler by Nate. Four other Trimble drawings grace the back cover and inside pages. His team included Norm Barrett, Bob Hunter, Jim Livaudais, Frank Lospalluto, Carol Mockridge and Kay Simmons.

The popular brochure can be purchased for $5 at Wild Birds Unlimited in Medford, Nature Shop in Ashland, at monthly chapter meetings or from any board member. You can also purchase a copy for $7.50 on the RVAS website. It is a must-have for every local birder and makes a great gift.
