Klamath Bird Observatory and USDA Forest Service Redwood Sciences Laboratory

Klamath Bird Observatory and USDA Forest Service Redwood Sciences Laboratory work with many partners to establish and promote standardized bird monitoring networks that provide information needed to integrate Partners in Flight bird conservation objectives with land management programs. These efforts have received national recognition: our partnership was recipient of the Joint Fire Sciences Program's Best Scientist Manager Partnership Award for our continued research on the use of birds as indicators of the ecological effects of disturbance, and the Duck Unlimited/US Forest Service Taking Wing Award for increasing understanding of wetland ecosystems and habitat relationships through excellence in science and management applications.

Klamath Bird Observatory

The KBO advances bird and habitat conservation through science, education, and partnerships in the Klamath-Siskiyou Bioregion of southern Oregon and northern California. Conducting scientific studies to monitor and inventory bird populations, KBO contributes to Partners in Flight?s efforts to keep common birds common. KBO reaches out to local communities and schools through classroom and field visits, camps, bird walks and talks, visits to ecological monitoring stations, and community events. KBO expands the effectiveness and scope of its science and education programs through collaboration with an array of partners.

Redwood Sciences Laboratory

The RSL in Arcata, California, is a field research facility of the USDA Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Research Station. Bird monitoring research has been an ongoing effort since wildlife research began at the laboratory in 1982. In the last 25 years, more than two million censuses, captures, and field evaluations of birds and their habitats have been conducted, primarily in northern California and southern Oregon in the Klamath-Siskiyou Bioregion. RSL has also been a leader in research on Marbled Murrelets in both offshore foraging and onshore nesting habitats.

Rogue Valley Audubon Society

Established in 1971, RVAS is in an accredited chapter of the National Audubon Society. With over 550 members RVAS is one of the largest environmental organizations in the region. RVAS serves as a voice for education and conservation in the natural world. The chapter's activities include 10 members' meetings and over 20 regional birding field trips each year, as well as numerous natural history presentations in area schools. Information on Rogue Valley Audubon?s activities, and its monthly newsletter, The Chat, can be found on the chapter?s website.

Redwood Region Audubon Society

The RRAS is the National Audubon Society's Eureka, California chapter. Our objective is to appreciate, protect, restore and preserve our natural ecosystem through education, conservation action, and citizen science. On-going programs, open to the public, include weekly field trips, monthly presentations, and annual events such as our native garden tour and Christmas Bird Counts. RRAS hosts the Arcata Bird Box (707-822-LOON) and the Godwit Days spring migration festival. Publications include the Field Checklist of Northwest California Birds, Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Humboldt County and our monthly newsletter, The Sandpiper.

Klamath Basin Audubon Society

The Klamath Basin Audubon Society, founded almost 25 years ago, currently has over 250 members in Klamath and surrounding counties in southern Oregon and northern California. Our chapter's mission is "to provide the opportunity for all to experience and appreciate our region's wildlife and other natural resources." This year our chapter is organizing the Winter Wings Festival, one of the oldest birding festivals in the nation. Winter Wings celebrates the largest congregation of wintering bald eagles in the lower 48 states.

Cornell Lab of Ornithology

A nonprofit membership institution that interprets and conserves the earth’s biological diversity through research, education, and citizen science focused on birds. Founded in 1915 by pioneering ornithologist Dr. Arthur A. Allen, the Lab continues to build on "Doc" Allen’s recognition of the significant contribution that bird watchers can make to ornithology by providing unique opportunities for birders to participate in hands-on science and conservation efforts.

Audubon

Dedicated to protecting birds and other wildlife and the habitat that supports them. Our growing network of community-based Audubon Centers, grass roots science programs for bird enthusiasts, and advocacy on behalf of ecosystems sustaining important bird populations, engage millions of people of all ages and backgrounds in positive conservation experiences.
