Birds of Jackson County with Nate Trimble

October 28, 2025 7 PM

In Person and with optional Zoom

Lidgate Hall, MUCC 1801 E Jackson St, Medford, OR 97504

For many years, the Birds of Jackson County: Distribution and Abundance booklet has been a great resource for anyone looking to learn more about Jackson County’s amazing bird life. It gives an overview of the county itself, its habitat types, birding hotspots, and a complete list of every bird detected in Jackson County on record along with the habitat type and time of year in which each species occurs. This document is updated every five years by a team of local experts affiliated with the Rogue Valley Audubon Society. Join us October 28 as Nate Trimble discusses changes to the most recent booklet, including new species added, changes to the habitat and hotspots of the county, and his process for scouring historical and online records searching for updated bird observations. This will be a fascinating look into the incredible diversity of bird life and habitat types in the county and how it has changed in recent years.

Nate Trimble has taken the lead in updating the 2025 edition of the booklet. Nate has lived in Ashland for the last ten years and has spent time as a member of the RVAS Board of Directors and field trip coordinator, worked for the Klamath Bird Observatory, and taken part in several volunteer community science projects in the area. These days, Nate is a stay-at-home dad for a nature loving five-year-old and an educator at ScienceWorks Museum.
