Join Bird Alliance of Oregon and USFWS staff in surveying for Sandhill Crane pairs. This survey is part of an effort to reimagine crane monitoring at Malheur NWR and to better understand the impacts of invasive monocultures, such as reed canarygrass, on crane territories and reproduction at the refuge. In other words, you can help refuge staff understand if Sandhill Cranes at Malheur are being negatively impacted by reed canarygrass, particularly their ability to successfully hatch and rear colts. Most, if not all, routes on this survey will be driving routes. Camping gear will be available for participants to use during this event. There will potentially be bathrooms available on some, but not all routes.
Camping is provided for all of these community science weekends. There is camping gear available through our gear library. BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and disabled birders, bird-enthusiasts, and Malheur aficionados are welcome. Accessibility is noted in program description.
