SUMMARY:Spring Shorebird Migration (Online Class)
DESCRIPTION:Bird Alliance of Oregon presents: \nSpring Shorebird Migration\n\nShorebirds (sandpipers\, curlews\, godwits\, dowitchers\, and plovers) are champions of long-distance migration. Each spring\, these birds pass through Oregon on their way from wintering grounds in Central and South America to nesting grounds in the Arctic. While many shorebirds appear similar at first glance\, each species possesses their own unique beauty and behavior. \nThis class will show you how to identify all the regularly occurring species in Oregon and give you a glimpse into their life histories. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOnline Class Details\n\nClass: April 2\, 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm\nClass fee: $20 members / $30 non-members\nNote: A recorded class link will be provided to all participants after the class. Thank you!\nSign-up\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet the Instructor\nJohn Rakestraw\n \nBorn and raised in Indiana\, John worked as a naturalist in Kansas and Ohio before settling in Oregon. He is freelance writer\, author of Birding Oregon\, and leads classes and workshops.

SUMMARY:Whales\, Dolphins\, and Porpoises of Oregon (Online Event)
DESCRIPTION:Bird Alliance of Oregon presents: \nWhales\, Dolphins\, and Porpoises of Oregon\n\nHave you ever wondered what whales and dolphins live off the Oregon coast? This class will cover the cetaceans (whales\, dolphins\, and porpoises) that can be found off of our coast. \nWe’ll discuss the different families of cetaceans\, what species can be seen here\, their strategies for survival\, and where and when they are likely to be found. \nThis class precedes the Field Trip: Whale Spotting at Ecola State Park and Haystack Rock Birding on April 12. Please join us! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nOnline Class Details\n\n\n\nClass: April 3\, 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm\nClass fee: $20 members / $30 non-members\nNote: A recorded class link will be provided to all participants after the class. Thank you!\nRegister!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet the Instructor\nChris Williams\n \nChris has been interested in birds and wildlife since he was a child. Chris grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area where he first started to make observations of the natural world. He received a BS in Zoology from The Evergreen State College where he was able to get hands-on experience in ornithology\, marine mammalogy\, and tropical ecology. Upon graduating Chris worked for Audubon South Carolina where he participated in ongoing prothonotary warbler studies and led kayak and canoe tours through a swamp. He strives to create a more inclusive birding community and bring traditionally underrepresented groups into outdoor spaces.

SUMMARY:Night Photography (Online Class)
DESCRIPTION:Bird Alliance of Oregon presents: \nNight Photography\n\nFrom snakes to owls to the aurora borealis\, there are many incredible subjects in nature that are best found and photographed after dark. But since light is the essence of photography\, taking pictures after sunset requires you to make some crucial decisions about how to get around this hurdle. When is it best to use artificial light\, like a flash? When is it better to use a long shutter speed? \nIn this webinar\, we will discuss everything you need to confidently make pleasing images at night: equipment\, lighting\,  camera settings\, and planning\, as well as the ethics of photographing certain subjects in the dark. \n\n\n\n\n\nOnline Class Details\n\n\n\nClass: April 8\, 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm\nClass fee: $20 members / $30 non-members\nNote: Class recordings will be sent out automatically to everyone who registered post-class. Thank you!\nSign-up\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet the Instructor\nBrian Magnier\n \nMy name is Brian Magnier\, and I live in La Grande\, Oregon. I studied ecology and evolutionary biology at Cornell University and got a Master of Professional Science degree in Exploration Science at the University of Miami. As was the case for so many people\, birds were the gateway to my passion for wildlife. I have been an avid birder since elementary school and a nature photographer for almost as long. \nI have been fortunate to be able to travel the world both for pleasure and for academic research. I have done fieldwork on mammals and insects in Alaska and New York and on birds in Borneo and Papua New Guinea. I have journeyed to Mexico\, Panama\, Costa Rica\, Sweden\, and Iceland\, photographing wildlife in dense jungles and rugged deserts. I have led hiking and kayaking tours in Alaska and snorkel tours in Belize and Indonesia. I aim to inspire people to get outside\, talk a walk\, flip over some logs\, and take a closer look at the world around them. I now live in La Grande\, Oregon\, where I can often be found wandering through deserts and forests\, camera in hand\, to find everything from birds to fungi to fossils.

SUMMARY:Botany for Birders: Rose City Flowers with Ryan Gilpin
DESCRIPTION:Bird Alliance of Oregon presents: \nBotany for Birders: Rose City Flowers with Ryan Gilpin\n\nHave you ever struggled to describe which tree a bird is in? Have you ever struggled to identify a tree making it difficult to know how to manage it? Join local arborist\, ecologist and birder Ryan Gilpin for a series of online and field classes designed to help birders more confidently navigate the plant world. Ryan will focus on observing specific characteristics of trees to gather more information. This information can be used to assign a name to a plant\, but the goals of the workshop are more about observing and describing than naming. \nEvery month\, Ryan will focus on a particular characteristic of trees (such as leaves or bark) and how that character can help you to understand more about the plant. Through coupled classroom and field sessions Ryan will help you increase your ability to describe plants and connect to the natural world around you. Field sessions will be dynamic birding sessions in places with interesting trees. When bird activity is high\, participants will be encouraged to describe where they are seeing birds in as much detail as possible using plant characteristics. When bird activity is low\, participants will be encouraged to observe and describe specific characters of the surrounding trees to work on plant identification skills. Please register seperately for each class in the series. \nRose City Flowers\nPortland can be pretty special in April. The days are longer\, the sun starts coming out\, and the cherries lining our streets wake up to share their beauty with the world. While not all flowers are so showy and beautiful\, flowers are the best feature to use when identifying plants. This class will focus on aspects of flowers to look at and tips about turning careful observation of flowers into identifying the tree. As well as\, how to identify some key flowering trees in the Portland area and when flowers might be available on different types of trees to use in identification. \nOnline Class Details\n\n\n\nClass: April 9\, 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm\nClass fee: $20 members / $30 non-members\nNote: Class recordings will be sent out automatically to everyone who registered post-class. Thank you!\nRegister!

The training will cover Black Oystercatcher life history\, the conservation challenges they face\, and survey protocol to participate in our nest monitoring program. \n \nVirtual Training: Wednesday\, April 30\, 2025 | 6:30 – 8 p.m.In-Person Training: Saturday\, May 10\, 2025 | 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. \n \nFor more information or to RSVP\, email Cara Gates\, Coastal Community Science Biologist\, at cgates@birdallianceoregon.org. \n \nPartners: USFWS\, USGS\, North Coast Land Conservancy\, Haystack Rock Awareness Program\, Friends of Haystack Rock\, Seven Capes Bird Alliance\, Cape Arago Audubon Society\, Kalmiopsis Audubon Society \n\n	Categories:\n		Birding\, Community Science\, Online Event	 \n\n	Website:\n	https://birdallianceoregon.org/event/virtual-black-oystercatcher-community-science-training-april-30-2025/ \n\n	Organizer\n\n			\n			Bird Alliance of Oregon			\n	\nView Organizer Website \n\n					\n						\n	 \n\n			\n		Virtual Training			\n	\n\n	OR\n	United States\n\n\n	+ Google Map \n\n					\n						\n	 \n\n	View Venue Website \n\n				\n			\n\n	\n	Add to calendar	 \n \n\n\n	Google Calendar\n\n\n	iCalendar\n\n\n	Outlook 365\n\n\n	Outlook Live\n\n\n\n\n\n\n				WEDNESDAYS: Bird Song Walks at Mt.
