Have you ever seen a White-headed Woodpecker? How about a Calliope Hummingbird or Great Gray Owl? Would you like a chance to witness these and other spectacular mountain birds while helping advance conservation? If so, the first annual Mountain Bird Festival is for you!
This unique conservation festival will be held in beautiful Ashland, Oregon from May 30th to June 1st, 2014. The Mountain Bird Festival combines a celebration of the region’s mountain birds with the stewardship ethic needed to ensure thriving landscapes for humans and wildlife. Every citizen who participates in this festival will receive an attractive conservation stamp for their significant stewardship of the science that drives bird conservation.
The Mountain Bird Festival offers guided bird walks, keynote presentations, a fine art auction, cocktail parties, music, local foods, and a feel-good community atmosphere. We hope you, and your bird-watching friends, join the fun! To register or learn about sponsorship benefits, visit their website: www.KlamathBird.org/Education/
Klamath Bird Observatory will host this community conservation event in partnership with the City of Ashland, the Ashland Chamber of Commerce, ScienceWorks Hands-On Museum, and many other organizations. Klamath Bird Observatory is an Ashland-based scientific non-profit organization that achieves bird conservation in the Pacific Northwest and throughout the migratory ranges of the birds of our region.
