The Creston Valley Bird festival is back to celebrate birds and nature. This is the 10th anniversary of the Creston Valley Bird Festival! Come and celebrate with us!
There are lots of options for guided birding tours by kayak, bus, foot or lawn chair! There are also many valley events such as farm tours, food events, star gazing and art workshops.
Light pollution attracts and disorients nocturnally migrating birds, making them more likely to land in areas where they are more vulnerable to collisions and other dangers. At least 100 million birds die every year from colliding with buildings in the United States alone. Artificial light also impacts birds in the breeding and winter seasons, disrupting feeding and other vital behaviors. Because artificial light affects birds in so many ways, it is impossible to know just how many birds are impacted by light pollution every year around the globe. Throughout the year we will spread the message to “dim the lights for birds at night” and highlight the steps that individuals, communities, and governments can take to reduce the impact of light pollution on our shared birds. Contact us at info@environmentamericas.org with any questions.

Birding the vast expanse of Harney County's 10,000+ sq. miles can be daunting. Which birds are where? and when? Dan Streiffert has been birding and photographing in Harney County for 15+ years. This presentation showcases his approach to taking advantage of particular birding 'routes' that cover the diverse landscape and discovers the array of birds and other wildlife available. Dan will share tips and tricks for seeing particular species at different times of the day or throughout the year.
The class will focus on bird language, behavior, habitats, nests & bird tracks. Learn to identify, observe, and tell the story of birds in their environment. Birds are such unique animals and leave us with exciting mysteries. Their behavior has fascinated ornithologists for decades.
