Phone: 541-736-4444
BIRD WALKS:
Bird walks are 8-11 on 2nd and 4th THURSDAYS; until the end of August. Beginning in September bird walks will be 9-12Noon.
Membership is not required to go on bird walks; nor is there any fee.
Bird walk destinations and leaders are announced via our weekly Tuesday email to members.
This web page is not always kept current regarding upcoming bird walks partly because the bird walk leaders often do
inform me of their destination until 2 days before the walk; and also partly because of the time
it takes to duplicate the efforts of putting together he weekly email announcements in a format for this webpage.
We recommend you get on our email list by coming to a BOGS meeting or writing to
Priscilla at priscilla@blog.priscillanhk.com.
NOTE: EXTENDED TRIPS involving Willamalane mini-busses driving through interesting bird areas: SPACE IS LIMITED!
Seats will necessarily have to be limited to those who have pre-registered through Willamalane Activities Center
With regard to carpooling to bird-walk destinations, carpooling is your choice. At this time we ask you to drive to the DESTINATION for that day at the starting time to meet the bird walk leader and those participating.

We will meet on the bridge at 9am and begin by birding there.
Next we will walk the east bike path(VRC side of river) downriver; stopping at numerous places
according to the "action". Eventually we will reach the place where there is another large pond on the right
and culverts passing beneath the bike path. That will be our turn-around point.
PRESENTATION: Sept 21; 9-11 am
Speaker: Paul Englemeyer
Topic:Sharing Conservation Efforts and Successes
BIO:
Paul Engelmeyer’s love of fishing and forests brought him to the NW in 1975. After working in the woods all over Region 6
- OR, WA and Idaho - from tree-planting to tree climbing for cones he transitioned
to being a part of the OSU Marbled Murrelet research team. When the first Murrelet nest was found in Oregon’s forests
in the early 1990s he made another shift to full time advocacy. Salmon recovery as well as protecting habitat
the ESA listed Murrelet and other species dependent on older forest habitat became the focus - protection and restoration.
He was also on the Salmon Advisory Subpanel and Habitat Committee for the Pacific Fisheries Management Council
dealing with salmon management within the PNW.
He has years of experience managing the Ten Mile Creek Sanctuary (located near Yachats) for the Portland Audubon. During his service on Oregon’s Ocean Policy Advisory Council (OPAC), he helped with the advocacy for and the development of the system of marine reserves and protected areas in Oregon’s territorial sea. He helped form the Cape Perpetua Collaborative which includes federal, and state agenices as well as business partners on the central coast.
He has also managed lands for The Wetlands Conservancy located in Alsea Bay, Beaver Creek and Yaquina Bay. 25 years ago he and few coastal community members intiated the MidCoast Watersheds Counci. Their working footprint includes Salmon River/Cascade Head in the north to Heceta Head in the south approximately 1ML acres with about the Siuslaw NF being the major landlowner. Sharing conservation efforts and successes thru field trips and presentations with students and potential partners is one of his passions.
BIRD WALK: Thursday, Sept 28, 2023; 9-Noon,
LEADER: Janet N.
North Delta Ponds:
PRESENTATION: Oct. 5; 9-11 am
Speaker: Cal Penkauskas
Topic:Cal Penkauskas: "This presentation shares findings from Cal's graduate work that
investigates how birds utilize hazelnut orchards and how landscape context affects bird diversity."
BIO:
"Cal moved to Eugene in 2012 to pursue a college education and has since received both his bachelor's
and master's degrees from the University of Oregon. While working in the Hallett Lab,
Cal has spent the last 5 years investigating how agricultural practices in the Willamette Valley
can align with habitat conservation goals. Almost all the hazelnuts grown in the U.S.
are found in Oregon and the industry is in a period of expansion - understanding how bird communities change
in relation to orchard age and wildland habitat is key to sustainable agriculture production
in the region for the coming decades."
BIRD WALK: Thursday, Oct. 12, 2023; 9 a.m. to 1? or 2? p.m.,
LEADER: Betsy H.
DESTINATION: Snagboat Bend (near Peoria)
(BOGS has not yet walked the trails at this site. We attempted to last year but the river had been running high
and trails were flooded).
DETAILS:
This destination is roughly 30 miles Northwest of Eugene
in Linn County. This region on the East side and adjacent to the Willamette River, was added to Finley Wildlife
Refuge Complex (approx 2000?) some decades after the larger refuge was established (which was approx. 1955)
on the West side of the Willamette River.
https://www.outdoorproject.com/united-states/oregon/william-l-finley-national-wildlife-refuge-snag-boat-bend-unit
"This extensive backwater slough, formed by the confluence of Lake Creek and the Willamette River, provides habitat
for waterfowl, western pond turtles, black-tailed deer, and a large great blue heron rookery."
As is the case with Finley Refuge, Trails are closed from Nov. 1 to April 1 to protect the Wintering Wildlife.
Most people will very likely choose to drive there independently, with the intention of arriving at 9 a.m.
(directions are given further down).
For those who wish to drive in a group together, we will meet BEFORE 8 a.m. in the parking lot for Jerry's Home Improvement,
just north of Beltline on Hwy 99. Enter the lot and then turn left; then park at the side closest to Hwy 99
where we can easily find each other. We'll drive slowly and try to stay in a group.
My estimate is that those of us in the group caravan will arrive at SNAGBOAT BEND around 8:45 to 9 a.m.
DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS:
We will drive to Harrisburg via Hwy 99W through Junction City and Hwy 99E from Junction City to Harrisburg.
At the north end of Junction City we want Hwy 99E which splits off at an angle to the right,
(while Hwy 99W would go off to the left). Hwy 99E crosses the Willamette River and enters Harrisburg.
At the north end of Harrisburg, we turn left on PEORIA RD and take that to SNAG BOAT BEND,
which is marked by a sign on the left side of the road.
Site and trail DESCRIPTION:
https://www.oregonhikers.org/field_guide/Snag_Boat_Bend_Loop_Hike
TRIP DURATION:
There are some longer trail options, so this trip might easily run past Noon, returning to Eugene closer to 1 p.m.
or possibly even as late as 2:00 p.m. (these are only estimates).
We recommend you bring a lunch and water or beverages.
Of course, people may return home at any time
but we ask that you let the trip leader know you are leaving.

TopicWinter Birds of Prey & survey routes project
BIO:
I was born and raised in SE PA and moved to Oregon in 1969 to
attend Oregon State University. I graduated in February 1973
with a degree in Wildlife Management. During three summers
while attending OSU, I was fortunate to be selected to work as a
Student Trainee for the US Fish and Wildlife Service on three
different national wildlife refuges. Upon graduation from OSU, I
was hired on permanently as an assistant refuge manager and
spent 1.5 years at Malheur NWR in SE OR. I was promoted to
another refuge in northern TX where I worked for 2 years before
again being promoted back to the west coast where I worked as
one of the primary assistant managers on the Klamath Basin
NWRs Complex. I resigned in 1984 to work with the US Postal
Service in Albany, OR for another 25 years before finally retiring
from federal service.
During my Postal Service years, I became very active in birding throughout Oregon. Once my two sons went off to college, I found more time to devote to Winter birding in Linn County. It became apparent to me that the grass fields throughout the county supported hundreds of birds of prey each winter.
Drawing on my USFWS refuge days when I did a lot of wildlife survey work, I put together a few survey routes in Linn County and actively surveyed and reported to the OR birding list serve OBOL, the huge number of raptors that I counted. This caught the the attention of a lot of folks monitoring OBOL around the state and because of that, I initiated the Winter Raptor Survey Project which was and continues to be sponsored by the East Cascades Audubon Society is based in Bend, OR. The first year of the the project, I put together 79 routes throughout Oregon for folks to survey. Nineteen years later, the project now covers 551 routes covering more than 32,000 miles of survey transects surveyed by 450 primary volunteers throughout all of OR, WA, and ID and small parts of northern CA and UT as well as western MT. (My BOGS program) is entitled “Birds of Prey in the Pacific Northwest - East Cascades Audubon Society Winter Birds of Prey Project”, will offer the audience a look Into the Raptor Project as well as provide attendees with a collection of pretty stunning photos, taken mostly by project participants, of all the species that we have found on our surveys. Hopefully, by the end of the program, everyone will have a new grasp of the various species of birds of prey found in the northwest, where they can be expected to be found and in what numbers, and maybe address some of those tough ID situations that we run into from time to time in the field :)

WINTER RAPTOR RUNS; 2023-24:
This Winter Season we are arranging tohost our Raptor Runs through Willamalane, using a Mini-bus, which holds 14 passengers.
This allows the entire group to ride together and communicate with each other easily along the way; while not having to drive
their own vehicles.
We are planning one Raptor Run each month November through March, so there will be five such trips available over the Winter. The duration or each trip is expected to be 8am to 2pm (on the trip route itself); with a 3pm return to Willamalane.
Pre-registration (through Willamalane) will be required. Since space will be limited,
seats will be filled in the order in which people register. Since these trips will be announced in the Willamalane catalog
and open to the general public, we urge BOGS members to register AS SOON AS REGISTRATION OPENS.
Bring snacks, drinks, and lunch!
Most of these will be trips to Linn County, but we might do a North-Lane County trip at some point as well.
Tentative Dates
Nov. 9;
Dec.14
Jan. - Feb. - Mar. These three months the raptor trips will probably all be on the 4th Thursday of the month

The wonders of the mid-America bird migration
BIO:
If variety is the spice of life, I certainly must like it hot, having lived my life as a horse logger and organic farmer
in North Idaho, an Instructor in the English Department at LCC, as well as a variety of this and that in-between.
Yet throughout all my life changes, my deep love of and connection to the natural world has carried through.
While living in Idaho, I learned about the forest ecosystem, particularly focusing on the flora,
so when the opportunity of taking on a formative role in Lane’s nascent Interdisciplinary college-wide program
known as Learning Communities, I jumped at the chance. Here my students and I could discover some of the many ways
that our constructed and natural worlds dynamically relate. And, of course, my first collaboration involved
designing a Learning Community with two Biology professors, one who taught a Wildflowers of Oregon class,
and the other a Birds of Oregon class, while I offered a writing course.
When other English instructors spent glorious spring days in the classroom,
I would often be off on a field trip with our students and my colleagues, learning more about the flora, but now, also, the birds.
And now, over 20 years later and 9 years of retirement, the birds have taken over; As well as my deep appreciation
of the welcoming and generous birding community whose many members have mentored me over the years.
I’ve spent much time traveling and volunteering in Central and South America,
especially Ecuador during the last 15 years, and birding has always played a significant role,
as well as my lifelong involvement with photography, in which birds have now become the star subjects.
I’ve primarily been an independent traveler, rather than relying on organized tours.
In the Spring of 2022, my friend Nancy Clogston and I decided to take a road trip to experience
the wonders of the mid-America bird migration.
we met at one of the epicenters of this migration, the northwestern corner of Ohio at Maumee Bay State Park
on the southwestern shores of Lake Erie, where we had reserved a campsite for 9 days.
This presentation evolved from that trip.
PRESENTATION: Dec. 7; 9-11 am
Speaker: Matthew Betts

Below I have included a list compiled by both Doris and myself, of all the places Steve Barron has taken us, as well as a few additional places we have gone only during previous Summers.
Here is a list of places BOGS has gone birding in the past
Is that a (give bird name) that I hear singing? |
BIRD SONGS: Online Resources - listen to any bird's songs or calls
If you have a smartphone, there are numerous apps for birding which can play the songs and calls of birds,
but if you don't have one, you can go online and explore the songs and calls of any bird.
Here are two exceptionally good websites for this:
The McCaulay library includes not only recordings of songs and calls, but also has photographs and videos of birds, mammals, reptiles
and amphibians! Here is the "How to" page with instructions for using this website: |
ONLINE TUTORIALS
CLICK HERE FOR: Winter Raptors: A Mini-Tutorial by Priscilla Sokolowski Meant for those not very familiar with Hawks and other raptors found in the Southern Willamette Valley from November to March, and who want some helpful "look-for-this" kinds of details. This tutorial includes the most common Winter-only species. It does not include some of the year-round hawks such as Cooper's, Sharp-shinned or Red-shouldered Hawks; nor does it include Owls. Some who have worked through this tutorial have found it very helpful and easy to use. Check it out before our Raptor Runs this Winter! |

THE LATEST BIRDS REPORTED to eBIRD in Lane County
Back in February or April, the folks who do the computer programming at Cornell's eBird.org website, re-did much of the website.
While their work made improvements, especially in the ease of use by smartphones, one unfortunate result is that the widgets
by BirdTrax, which use eBird data, no longer function. This will probably be a permanent state of affairs, so I have removed the widgets
from the "Recent Sightings" page of this website. I still have a frame with working links from the eBird.org site,
so plenty of information can still be gleaned that way.
