SUMMARY:Dean Hall Woodpecker Festival
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the East Cascades Audubon Society and started in 2011\, the Dean Hall Woodpecker Festival is an opportunity to visit a beautiful area and enjoy our local birds.  There are 11 nesting species of woodpeckers here and there is a good chance to see them all … as well as lots of other cool birds.  The group keep things low key\, fun and casual.  Local birders lead the tours (at least 2 tour leaders per group) and group size is restricted by the Forest Service.  Birders follow ethical birding practices\, minimize play backs and have strict protocols about approaching nests.  The festival is focused on field trips and meeting other birders.  It is inexpensive and all people will car pool (arranged on the day of the tour).  Participants provide your own lunch.  The group takes participants to the birding spots and we all find the birds. \nThe East Cascades Audubon Society runs this festival and it is totally managed by volunteers.  We want to share our enthusiasm\, help you to see great birds\, and have a fun time. \nFor more information\, including fee information\, registration\, maps\, and other festival logistics\, please visit the East Cascades Audubon Society’s Dean Hall Woodpecker Festival website.

SUMMARY:Birder's Night
DESCRIPTION:Birder’s Night  \nSo Much White:  Is it Snow or Snow Geese \nEach spring over 200\,000 Snow and Ross’s Geese migrate through the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.  For the past sixteen years\, Kelly Hazen has volunteered her time to study Ross’s and Snow Geese as they rest and feed at Malheur during their northbound migration.  She has read the neck collars of over 1\,700 Snow and Ross’s Geese thus contributing to understanding adult survival rates\, migration timing\, and migration patterns.

SUMMARY:Wildfire Discussion and Film
DESCRIPTION:Deschutes County\, City of Bend Fire Department\, Oregon Department of Forestry and the Deschutes National Forest invite Central Oregon residents to a panel discussion and film on wildfire in our community in mid-June. The goal is to help people understand more about Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) wildfires\, wildfire risks to our community and reducing those risks to their personal property. \n“The Fire Line: Wildfire in Colorado”\, will be showing on Thursday\, June 19 at 7 pm at Hitchcock auditorium\, Pioneer Building 201 on the Central Oregon Community College (COCC) Campus at 2600 NW College Way in Bend. Following the 30 minute film will be a short evaluation of the film by local law enforcement\, county officials\, structural and wildland firefighters on living and working in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) boundary between public land and local communities. Panelists include Ed Keith\, Deschutes County Forester\, Bob Madden\, Battalion Chief with the Bend Fire Department\, Nathan Garibay\, Sergeant with Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office\,  George Ponte\, District Forester\, Oregon Department of Forestry and Craig Letz\, Fire Staff Officer for Central Oregon Fire Management Service. There will be a question and answer period following the panels’ statements. Residents are encouraged to ask questions of the panel of fire prevention and firefighting experts. Gary Marshall\, former Bend Fire Marshal and current Fire Safety Manager at Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire\, will emcee the event. \n“The Fire Line”\, is a documentary produced by The Denver Post that examines the effects of catastrophic wildfires in the west and their impacts on community members\, firefighters\, and natural resources. While the focus of the film is on wildfires in Colorado\, there are many lessons that Central Oregon communities can derive from their losses. The film discusses the challenges that homeowners face while living in a fire prone environment and how homeowners can better mitigate the risks to personal property\, local firefighters and the beautiful Central Oregon landscape.
