Subject: [KlamathBasinBirdNews] Western Field Ornithologists Conference 2026
I wanted to make sure everyone knows that there is a big ornithologists
conference happening in Ashland on September 17th through the 20th, being
hosted by KBO (Klamath Bird Observatory). This will bring together some of
the best birders and bird scientists in the west to both see/tour our area
and present many of their scientific study papers where birds, ecology and
science interact.

There are many of our local bird experts participating, including Frank
Lospalluto, Shannon Rio, Jamie Stephans, Ryan Terrill, Sarah Rockwell,
Kevin Spencer, Pepper Trail, Amanda Alford, Harry Fuller, Elijah Hayes, Jim
Livaudais and Kristi Mergenthaler, among others.

In addition, Jamie Stephens, from KBO, is giving the KeyNote Address at the
Saturday Night Gala. She will be speaking on "*From **detection to
decision: The role of ornithology in conservation*." One of her key points
is: "The future of field ornithology will not be defined solely by insight
and discovery, but by how effectively our findings shape decisions that
determine the fates of bird populations and the landscapes they depend
on."

Here is the link to more conference information:

This should be an excellent educational experience and I wanted everyone to
know it was happening in case they wanted to participate.
