History

Since its inception as a chapter of the National Audubon Society in November of 2005, Seven Capes Bird Alliance (SCBA), formerly Audubon Society of Lincoln City, has been active in educating about and advocating for protections of birds, other wildlife, and their habitats in Lincoln and Tillamook counties. SCBA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Our Programs

Education

SCBA presents in-school “Wild About Birds” classroom programs at elementary schools in Lincoln and Tillamook counties. It also offers “Basic Birding” adult classes at the Oregon Coast Community College's Lincoln City campus 3 times a year.

Field Trips

Birdwalks are scheduled for the 2nd Saturday of every month except December, when we host a local Christmas Bird Count. We have birdwalks as far north as Tillamook Bay, east to Baskett Slough, south to Seal Rock, and all along the central Oregon coast. See our activities calendar for more information about our classes and birdwalks. 

Community Science

We have annual Christmas Bird Counts in Lincoln City and in Tillamook. Other efforts include BioBlitzes, sea and shorebird monitoring, surveys, and nest box maintenance and monitoring.

Conservation

Our Conservation priorities include Forests, Coastal Habitat (Marine Reserves, Rocky Habitat, and Estuaries), Climate, and Plastic.  

Volunteer!

We are an all-volunteer organization. We can use folks like you to assist with all of our programs!

Diversity Makes Us Resilient

As we pursue the critical work of conservation and education, Seven Capes Bird Alliance is guided by the ideals of equality, dignity, and mutual respect. Recognizing the strength that comes from diversity in both natural systems and human communities, we welcome all people, regardless of race, gender identity, sexual preference, age, or citizenship status. We will continually seek to advance and prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion through our programs and partnerships.
