Enjoy a local celebration of World Bird Migratory Day on Saturday, May 10th, 8 am – Noon at North Mountain Park Nature Center in Ashland.
Rogue Valley Bird Day will include educational exhibits from the Klamath Bird Observatory, Wild Birds Unlimited, and more, as well as fun all-ages activities.
Adult and children’s binoculars will be available for checkout, with bird walks leaving every 15-30 minutes. These easy walks travel along the park’s bark-chipped trails, or along the accessible, paved bike path. Visitors may also sit down and enjoy the bird watching from the covered pavilion.
This year’s theme “Protect Insects, Protect Birds”, highlights the importance of insects throughout a bird’s life cycle, especially during migration. Pollinator Project Rogue Valley will share pollinator information and offer activities for kids and adults, to learn more about the vital insects to be found in your own backyard.
Crafts, games, and a self-guided activity booklet will be on hand for kids to learn about birds and earn prizes. At 11am all ages are invited to compete in the annual Bird Calling Contest and “Name that Bird” contest, with prizes provided by the Rogue Valley Audubon Society. Join us for a day of birding fun!

Klamath Bird Observatory
“Oaks and Other Creatures” with Harry Fuller
Join us for this presentation with Harry Fuller. The oak tree family is widespread in temperate parts of both hemispheres. It is often the keystone species around which mammals, birds, invertebrates, fungi, lichens, and myriad other organisms build their survival. From the acorn to the tree, from creviced bark to hanging mistletoe, the oak is an enriching element in its habitat. It is not just acorn Woodpeckers that depend on oaks. Fortunately, KBO is involved in active restoration efforts at work across western Oregon. The presentation will be hosted at the KBO office in Ashland, and there is a virtu-al option.

PLAYA Experience: Great Birding in the Great Basin (direct link: https://playasummerlake.org/product-category/workshops/2025-workshops-experiences/great-birding-2025/) There’s no time or place better to bird than during this 4-night

Agenda highlights:
🦉 Group field trips to birding hotspots Summer Lake Wildlife Area, Lake Abert, and Winter Ridge
🦉 Experiential lectures about bird identification, life history strategies, and habitat needs
🦉 Collect and share data using eBird and develop familiarity with field guides
May in the Summer Lake area is a time of avian abundance, diversity, and exuberance. Migrants are moving through, and breeding birds are singing and displaying to defend territory and court mates, while some have started nesting. In this Experience, participants will visit birding hotspots like the Summer Lake Wildlife Area and Lake Abert, perhaps ascending Winter Ridge to look for forest birds. We will go beyond identification, discussing bird life history strategies, including habitat needs. We will collect and share data using eBird and will develop familiarity with field guides. There will be sufficient free time for you to bird on your own, study field guides, write in journals, or take photographs. Above all, we will celebrate the joy of birding and birds themselves.

Event Details
Explore the highly diverse ecosystems in and around Summer Lake with an experienced guide, naturalist, and artist in this 4-night Experience May 22-26! Prices from $456.
Agenda highlights:
🪲 Group field trips to Paisley, Winter Ridge, Summer Lake Wildlife Area, and Lake Abert
🪲 Experiential lectures emphasizing plants and wooded ecosystems, birds and wetland ecosystems, geology, and more!
🪲 Ample independent time for studio work and exploring
Science and art merge in a naturalist’s approach to viewing and understanding nature. In this Experience, participants will visit several diverse ecosystems (wetlands, high desert, pine forest) and practice the art of “seeing.” The instructor will provide a working framework for thinking about life history strategies (including ecological concepts such as herbivory, predation, migration, foraging, competition, cooperation, reproduction, parental care, and social behavior) of animals and plants. There will be time in the field and at the PLAYA campus for independent journaling, field sketching, and photography. Participants can share their work with others, and the instructor is happy to provide individualized feedback.
