Science

Klamath Bird Observatory conducts long-term monitoring and applied research projects that provide scientific results about bird population trends, demographics, life history, distribution and habitat relationships. Our scientific results inform conservation and land management decisions.  Ongoing studies address decisions related to wildfire and fuel reduction, wetland habitat management,  restoration effectiveness, and climate change.

Education

Klamath Bird Observatory’s education program uses the best available science to help private, state, and federal land managers implement conservation objectives by using birds as indicators of resilient ecosystems.  KBO reaches out to local communities and schools through classroom visits, field trips, camps, bird walks, presentations, workshops, visits to ecological monitoring stations, and community events.

Partnerships

Klamath Bird Observatory broadens the effectiveness and scope of its science and education programs through collaboration with an array of partners.
