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.

Partners in Flight: Tri-National Vision for Landbird Conservation

May 11,  2010 - National leaders from Canada, Mexico, and the United States released a landmark tri-national conservation assessment for birds.  Klamath Bird Observatory contributed to the development of this reprot, Saving our Shared Birds: Partners in Flight Tri-National Vision for Landbird Conservation.  The report represents a collaboration by bird conservation experts from the three nations’ leading conservation organizations. 

"Our three nations of Canada, Mexico, and the continental United States are home to more than 1,150 species of birds, including 882 native landbird species. Conserving our shared birds will require a continental, and ultimately hemispheric, perspective and a commitment to international cooperation."
