This is Lincoln City’s 16th annual Christmas Bird Count! The Lincoln City count circle, like all others, is 15 miles in diameter. We've divided ours into seven sectors (see map). If you love birds, join us in the field or count birds in your own backyard.

Field counters need to dress for Oregon coast weather. Mud boots or sturdy shoes are recommended. Bring your own optical equipment. You will also want to bring a lunch or something to snack on throughout the day, plus plenty of water. (Most sector leaders do not stop for lunch.)

If that sounds too strenuous, or you just don't have the full day to spend, you can participate as a backyard/feeder counter if you live in the Lincoln City area (see map). We will provide a checklist and guidelines.

This is the final webinar in our Your Data Is for the Birds series!

eBird is an online community science project managed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society for birders to record and share their bird sightings. The project acts as a global database of bird observations, used by both amateur birders and professional scientists to track bird populations and distribution. Originally focused on the Western Hemisphere, eBird has expanded to include the entire world, making it a truly global database.  Birders use eBird to create personal checklists and note time and location of sightings, and scientists aggregate, analyze, and visualize these same data through maps, charts, and other tools, helping them track bird populations, migration patterns, and more. Thus, the data collected by eBird are used by scientists, researchers, and conservation organizations to understand and protect bird populations. Learn how this free and accessible program makes it easy for anyone to participate and contribute to bird conservation. 

W. Douglas Robinson is Professor of Wildlife Science and Curator of Birds at Oregon State University. He is Chief Editor of the academic journal Frontiers in Bird Science. Doug states that birds are his  expertise, vocation, and avocation. He studies wild birds to understand how and why they respond to environmental change, as well as why they live their lives in the ways they do. Doug is committed to establishing benchmarks of biodiversity to help future generations truly understand how bird populations change through time. To that end, he is one the world’s top contributors to the citizen science database, eBird.

Join us for this killer presentation by Robert (Bob) Pitman.  Throughout his career one of Bob’s main research interests has been the ecology of killer whales. Beginning in 2003 he efforts to describe five different ‘ecotypes’ of killer whales from the Southern Ocean, each with their own unique color patterning and different food and foraging habits. Recent genetics analyses suggest that these might, in fact, be separate species. Bob is involved in ongoing research on how these various killer whale forms manage to co-exist, and how their feeding impacts populations of their prey species.

From 1976-2019, Bob worked as a marine ecologist for NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service in La Jolla, California. He participated in over 140 scientific research cruises in all the oceans of the world, including more than 30 trips to Antarctica. He has published some 150 papers in the peer-reviewed literature and co-authored two editions of a Guide to Marine Mammals of the World. In addition to scientific articles, Bob writes for popular media and is a regular contributor to Natural History Magazine. His research has focused on diverse topics: flyingfish systematics, feeding ecology of tropical seabirds, sea turtle distribution and abundance, but his primary focus has been whales and dolphins, their distribution, ecology, and conservation. He is a world expert on beaked whales, was a member of the expedition that chronicled the extinction of the Yangtze River Dolphin, and has continued to be closely involved in efforts to prevent extinction of the vaquita porpoise, now the most critically endangered marine mammal on the planet.

Currently, Bob lives in Newport, Oregon, and is an affiliate of the Marine Mammal Institute at Oregon State University; his wife and colleague, Lisa Ballance, is Director of the Institute.

Beginning in 1900, Audubon’s Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is the nation’s longest-running community science bird project. This hemispheric initiative brings together thousands of volunteers each December and January to count birds, providing crucial data for scientific research and conservation efforts. Over its 125-year history, the CBC has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of bird population trends. This project has tracked conservation success stories, identified alarming population declines, and contributed to our understanding of how birds are impacted by climate change. In this presentation, we’ll explore the significance of this ongoing community science effort and discuss how individuals can participate in this vital work that helps protect bird species for future generations.

 Cooper Farr is the Community Science Manager for the National Audubon Society, where she supports, promotes, and innovates Audubon’s current and future Community Science programs, including Audubon’s Christmas Bird Count, Climate Watch, and the Great Backyard Bird Count. Cooper’s background is in avian ecology and applied conservation science, and she has over ten years of experience in developing and implementing community science programs.

In 1940, Birds of Oregon by Ira Gabrielson and Stanley Jewett described Oregon Vesper Sparrows as “an abundant summer resident of the Willamette Valley.” Today, they’re hard to find outside a few known nesting sites, mostly on private working lands like cattle ranches and Christmas tree farms.

Across their historic breeding range—from Crescent City, California, to southeastern British Columbia—populations have declined or disappeared. A 2015 survey led by Bob Altman for the American Bird Conservancy (ABC) estimated fewer than 3,000 birds remained. In 2017, ABC petitioned for federal listing, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is expected to release its findings soon.

Research continues, with the Klamath Bird Observatory (KBO) and Ecostudies Institute working with ABC to uncover causes of decline. Studies have focused on reproduction, migration routes, and wintering areas in California, led by Sarah Rockwell of KBO. Some fascinating details of these birds' behavior have emerged, including a remarkable degree of nest site fidelity, and distinct timing of migration depending on age and sex. For one sparrow who's lived to the ripe old age of 8 years, we can even sketch out a detailed biography, complete with sibling rivalries and occasional infidelities.

Joel Geier will present on Vesper Sparrows. From his early years as a dairy farm kid in western Minnesota, Joel has a lifelong interest in prairies and birds. Though he works internationally as a hydrogeologist, specializing in issues related to radioactive waste disposal, as a side gig he's worked since 2012 on grassland bird research in Oregon. He's also served as regional Christmas Bird Count editor for Nevada and Oregon (recently retiring from the latter) and continues as compiler of four widely scattered CBCs as well as volunteering on Breeding Bird Survey routes in both states.

Join us for the first of three webinars in our Your Data Is for the Birds series!

Knowledge of species’ food requirements are necessary for effective conservation planning, yet these data are scarce for many of Oregon’s coastal birds. Many traditional methods of diet study are invasive, can disturb breeding birds, and are typically very limited in their spatiotemporal coverage. With the advance of digital photography, however, new noninvasive means of avian diet data collection are now available. Researchers at OSU’s Seabird Oceanography Lab have been using photography to monitor interannual dietary shifts in Oregon’s seabirds to understand how ocean conditions can influence the abundance of critical prey species. What’s more, this method allows anyone  with a camera to assist in data collection. Birds with Fish, an OSU participatory science initiative,  invites community members to contribute photographs of feeding marine/estuarine birds to statewide data collection efforts so that we can learn how to best protect Oregon’s incredible  seabirds.

Will Kennerley is a faculty research assistant in the Seabird Oceanography Lab at Oregon State University’s Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport. Will first came to OSU in 2020 for his MSc degree, during which he researched how the foraging ecology of Atlantic Puffins (Fratercula arctica) in the Gulf of Maine is impacted by marine heatwaves. He fell in love with Oregon’s seabirds during his graduate work and, since completing his degree in 2023, has shifted his focus to the incredible seabirds of the Pacific Northwest. He now works on diverse research projects, including monitoring seabirds at Yaquina Head, performing at-sea surveys for Marbled Murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus), and serving as lead contact for the “Birds with Fish” community science initiative.
