Date: 5/8/24 11:00 am From: <rriparia...> Subject: [KlamathBasinBirdNews] KBAS General Meeting Tuesday May 14
Please join us and attend the last meeting before "summer" comes. It will be Tuesday, May 14, starting at 7:00 pm. on the bottom floor of Favell Museum. Please come early for some social time starting at 6:30 pm! I'd love to talk to you all and find out what's going on! A short meeting will start at 7:00 pm. After the meeting there will be a presentation by Elva Manquera DeShields, of the Klamath Bird Observatory. Elva Manquera DeShields works for Klamath Bird Observatory as their Science Communications, Outreach, and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice Manager. She is an Oregonian born and raised in Riddle. With a love and passion for nature, Elva attended Oregon State University and received her bachelor's in Zoology. After a couple of years of exploring career opportunities, Elva went to Southern Oregon University to study Environmental Education. During her Master’s program, Elva first got involved with the Klamath Bird Observatory through an internship. A couple years after graduating from SOU she returned to KBO as a full-time employee and has been with the organization for over 2 years. As a part of her position, Elva gets to explore the complexities of bridging environmental justice, inclusion, and conservation. For her presentation, Elva will be presenting her work thus far with KBO. She is excited to share details about her Bird Conmigo project and other DEIJ initiatives. There will be other Klamath Bird Observatory staff members who can also provide insight on other projects that involve the Klamath Basin. Klamath Basin Observatory has been involved with bird conservation and monitoring since the early 1990s. I was fortunate to be on-sight in those early years when banding stations were started around the Upper Klamath Lake, with Klamath Basin biologists such as Akimi King and the late Patty Buettner. Klamath Bird Observatory has been an important link for knowing the status of birds in the Klamath Basin, and is remaining current with technology advances that improve our understanding and knowledge of the needs of birds. I'm excited that Klamath Basin Audubon Society has this opportunity to keep up to date with what is going on, and how we in the conservation community can reach out to everyone.

Subject: RE: [KlamathBasinBirdNews] Clarks and Western Grebes, Lower end of Upper Klamath Lake.
Wow, that's a big number Howard.
I was along the Wingwatchers Trail today, and scanned out over Lake Ewauna. It was not a complete scan. I counted 265 plus the 10 Clark's and 10 Western Grebes that I specifically recognized. So, close to 300 also for that location. I also saw some "rushing" by a threesome. I was just watching for a short time and saw that. With nearly 300 there's probably always a pair or two ready to run atop the water. I saw some other courthship behavior such as "mirroring", but not sure if that's the correct terminology.
Should be good viewing when the weather warms up.

Last year was terrible for the Grebes in the South end of the lake. I was prepared that this year might also be very bad, but this afternoon I saw close to 300, and around 120 were fairly close to the parking lot. I saw no rushes, but it was BRUTALLY cold, when they usually aren't very active.
For visiting grebe enthusiasts, I suggest you plan to come when the weather forecast is for warm days and be aware that the weekends are VERY crowded!
Babies, TOO EARLY, and not possible to predict when they will show up!

Date: 4/23/24 9:33 am From: <rriparia...> Subject: [KlamathBasinBirdNews] Lakeside Field Trip Summary
Hello All, Thank you for attending the field trip to Lakeside Wetlands, with an on-site presentation by Karl Wenner. The wetlands here have shown that wetlands could improve water quality and at least provide an opportunity for maintaining species and possibly provide opportunity for species to live until they become more tolerant of Upper Klamath Lake conditions, and Karl presented that so well. You saw first hand that the wetlands is a great source for food, with such a diversity of birds present. I hope you continue to explore the Klamath Basin and all that it has to offer. You could even come to the next general meeting. Members and non-members alike could hear about the trip from you! I've shared below, the list of birds seen and heard on this trip. Please share your experience of the trip with others. Spreading the knowledge of what is going on in the Klamath Basin helps to increase our awareness. The next Klamath Basin Audubon Society meeting for the general public is Tuesday, May 7. The meeting will be the host for a presentation by Klamath Bird Observatory and its role in monitoring resident and migratory birds in this fantastic area. It takes place at Favell Museum, in the bottom floor room, and a social time starts at 6:30 pm, with a meeting that starts at 7:00 and the presentation follows. I hope to see you there.
