Hello All, Thank you for attending the field trip to Lakeside Wetlands, with an on-site presentation by Karl Wenner. The wetlands here have shown that wetlands could improve water quality and at least provide an opportunity for maintaining species and possibly provide opportunity for species to live until they become more tolerant of Upper Klamath Lake conditions, and Karl presented that so well. You saw first hand that the wetlands is a great source for food, with such a diversity of birds present. I hope you continue to explore the Klamath Basin and all that it has to offer. You could even come to the next general meeting. Members and non-members alike could hear about the trip from you! I've shared below, the list of birds seen and heard on this trip. Please share your experience of the trip with others. Spreading the knowledge of what is going on in the Klamath Basin helps to increase our awareness. The next Klamath Basin Audubon Society meeting for the general public is Tuesday, May 7. The meeting will be the host for a presentation by Klamath Bird Observatory and its role in monitoring resident and migratory birds in this fantastic area. It takes place at Favell Museum, in the bottom floor room, and a social time starts at 6:30 pm, with a meeting that starts at 7:00 and the presentation follows. I hope to see you there.
