MEETING LOCATION (live presentations):
WILLAMALANE ADULT ACTIVITY CENTER; WILLAMALANE WEBSITE LINK
215 W. C St., Springfield OR 97477
Phone: 541-736-4444

BIRD WALKS: Bird walks are 8-11 on 2nd and 4th THURSDAYS; until June. Beginning in June the Bird walks will start at 8am and end at 11am. In September bird walks will return to 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.

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.

DESTINATION: Eugene to Florence via Hwy 126, then North to Yachats, with a number of birding stops, looking especially for "last wave" of migrating Shorebirds.

BIRD WALK: Nesting Song Birds;Thursday, June 20, 2024; 9 a.m. to Noon
LEADER: Priscilla S.
DESTINATION: Mt Pisgah Arboretum

DETAILS:
This is our annual "nesting song birds" walk through the Arboretum at Mt Pisgah.
For anyone who is distance-challenged, much of the action on this walk, is in the first patch of trees as one leaves the parking lot and enters the Arboretum. We sometimes spend up to an hour right there.
After that we slowly move along the Coast Fork trail up to the large meadow.

Along with the photos of RAPTORS, this slideshow has lots of very nice photos of the participants, taken by our wonderful (Willamalane) bus driver SUE PHILIP. OUR BOGS/WILLAMALANE COLLABORATION WAS A VERY SATISFYING SUCCESS,
especially considering it was a new venture.

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:
XENO-CANTO Bird recordings
Here is an example recording from xeno-canto.org. This is a recording of several Short-eared Owls harassing a Northern Harrier. The owls are doing a lot of their "barking" calls. The Harrier can be heard at 0.55 seconds and there-after.

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.
