SUMMARY:10/7/2026 -  6 pm -  "The Northern Peru Hummingbirds"
DESCRIPTION:“Sparkling Violetear” photo credit: Serge Queant. \n  \nUmpqua Bird Alliance and the Roseburg Public Library presents: \n “The Northern Peru Hummingbirds” \nBy naturalist and video photographer \nSerge Queant \n6 p.m. Wednesday\, October 7 \nIt’s free to the Public  \nThis program is only available in person at the \nRoseburg Public Library\, 1409 NE Diamond Lake Blvd. \n  \nSerge will take us on a tour of 8 well-known hummingbird reserves in Northern Peru featuring 35 different species of hummingbirds. You will see the largest and the smallest to the rarest and most beautiful of hummingbirds through his amazing video photography. You will feel like you are there\, up close and personal. \nPart 2 of the program will feature more of an assortment of birds that includes the Inca Tern\, the Humboldt Penguin\, the Andean Condor\, the rare Diademed Sandpiper\, as well as the most colorful of all tanagers\, the Paradise Tanager. \n \nSerge was born in Paris and became a naturalist when his eyes were opened to wildlife when he had a video camera in his hands. After college\, he became an ethologist and studied a captive group of 11 chimpanzees for 9 years documenting their social behavior in comparison to those in the wild. Next he sought out snakes throughout Europe and North Africa\, and in 1976 took his camera to the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts. For 5 years he studied international gastronomy\, and ended up being the Executive Chef of the World Trade Club of San Francisco and a guest Chef in the White House. In 2005 he retired to Roseburg\, where he discovered a fascination for the avian world and has been an avid birder ever since. \nFor more information\, contact Roseburg Public Library staff at 541-492-7050. \n \nTo learn more about Umpqua Bird Alliance\, visit their website at www.umpquaaudubon.org. We are a chapter of the National Audubon Society. \nRecognizing 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\, levels of physical\, cognitive\, and social ability\, or citizenship status. We continually seek to advance and prioritize diversity\, equity\, and inclusion through our programs and partnerships.

SUMMARY:Umpqua Bird Alliance Migratory Bird Celebration
DESCRIPTION:  \nRoseburg Fall Swift Watch & Umpqua Valley Migratory Bird Celebration 2026 \nTwo Fridays – September 18 & 25\, beginning at 6:30 pm \nAt the Clay Place Chimney in the Fir Grove section of Stewart Park (off Harvard Ave. behind the Umpqua Valley Arts Center) \n  \nHopefully the swifts will be back at the Clay Place chimney in the Fir Grove section of Stewart Park this year! \nDetails: Vaux’s Swifts generally enter the chimney close to sunset. In September\, sunset will be about 7:15 pm on September 18th and closer to 7:00 pm by the 25th. Weather permitting\, the “Swifts Sisters and Friends” will join us with Americana music beginning around 6:30. \nSwift Watch:  Vaux’s Swifts (pronounced “vawks”) nest only in Western North America\, migrating to Central and South America for the winter. At sunset during migration\, Swifts gather in the dozens\, sometimes hundreds or thousands\, to communally roost. In urban settings\, these roost sites are often in old industrial chimneys. While numbers vary from year to year\, the display can be spectacular. \nUmpqua Bird Alliance members will be available on these two Friday evenings to serve as interpretive naturalists\, with information and brochures about Vaux’s Swifts as well as more general information about birding and our natural world. \nThroughout the migration\, Umpqua Bird Alliance members will be participating in a west coast wide data collection effort. Vaux’s Swift’s natural habitat is old growth forest habitat where they rely on large hollow snags for nesting and roosting. We know Swifts have lost much of their natural habitat and the number of chimneys available for roosting and nesting is also on the decline. Currently only 4 of 11 “old major roost” chimney sites remain available to them in our state. \nUmpqua Valley Migratory Bird Celebration: Vaux’s Swifts are just one of many amazing bird species that pass through our area in the spring and fall in migration. Federal and State agencies will be joining us to celebrate fall bird migration in conjunction with Swift Watch in recognition of World Migratory Bird Day which brings attention to one of the most important and spectacular events in the Americas – bird migration. Information about migration and bird-related activities for kids will be offered. Plus\, we may have. as special guests\, two Cedar Waxwings who are rescued ambassador birds representing all migratory species for your viewing pleasure! \nThis event is a partnership between the Umpqua Bird Alliance and the City of Roseburg Parks & Recreation. \nFor more information\, contact Umpqua Bird Alliance at info@umpquaaudubon.org. \n

SUMMARY:2/11/2026 - 6:30 pm - Education Program entitled "A Bird's Rainbow" by Bob Lewis
DESCRIPTION:The Umpqua Valley Audubon Society and Roseburg Public Library invite the public to “A Bird’s Rainbow” presented in person by scientist\, birder and teacher Bob Lewis at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday\, Feb. 11. \n  \nMany birds are brightly colored\, others use patterned feathers for camouflage. How do these colors originate? What’s the difference between colors from pigments and physical colors? From yellow warblers to Anna’s hummingbirds\, from snow geese to Brewer’s blackbirds\, each species makes unique use of the feather colors it possesses. What do the colors indicate to other birds? And do birds see the same colors we do? Lewis will unravel some of the mysteries of color in birds with a little chemistry\, a bit of physics and a lot of brightly colored slides. \n  \nLewis trained as a chemist and worked in the energy field for 33 years. He has taught birding classes in the San Francisco Bay Area for more than 25 years and served as the chair of Golden Gate Bird Alliance’s Adult Education Committee. He was honored with American Birding Association’s Chandler Robbins Award for Education and Conservation in 2016 and Golden Gate Bird Alliance’s Paul Covel Education Award in 2010 and 2017. \n  \nLewis loves to travel and photograph birds and has chased birds in more than 60 countries. His life list is more than 5\,500 species. \nThe program can be seen at the Roseburg Public Library (RPL) 1409 NE Diamond Lake Blvd. on 2/11/2026 at 6:30pm.  It can also be watched live on the RPL Facebook page. It is free to the public.  For more information\, contact Roseburg Public Library staff at 541-492-7050 or library@roseburgor.gov. \n  \nTo learn more about the Umpqua Valley Audubon Society\, visit their website at www.umpquaaudubon.org

SUMMARY:12/10/2025- 6 pm - Presentation: “Bird-Brained: Bird Intelligence and Behaviors”
DESCRIPTION:  \nUmpqua Valley Audubon and the Roseburg Public Library present \nAn Educational Presentation: \n“Bird-Brained: Bird Intelligence and Behaviors” \nBy ornithologist Dan Gleason \nWednesday\, December 10\, 2025 at 6 pm  \nIt is free to the public. \n  \nTwo ways to join us! \n#1: Dan Gleason will visit virtually on Zoom and attendees are invited to participate in person at the Roseburg Public library in the Ford room. \n#2: Watch it online on FacebookLive@roseburgpubliclibrary. (No Facebook account is required.) \nHave you ever been called bird-brained? It was likely intended as an insult\, but perhaps\, after this lecture\, you might say thank you in reply! The assumption is that birds are of low intelligence because most birds are small and have small brains. But there is a lot packed into those small skulls and brains. \nIn this program\, we will look at a variety of behaviors that demonstrate the intelligence of birds\, and we’ll consider some of the differences between intelligence and instinct. Watch the crows and jays in your yard\, and you may be surprised at some of the clever things they do! \nDan Gleason taught on the faculty at the University of Oregon for more than 30 years and continued teaching Field Ornithology even after retiring. He is the author of two books about birds\, and his “Register Guard” column\, “Backyard Habitats\,” ran monthly for more than 10 years in the mid-2000s. Since 2013\, Gleason and his wife\, Barbara\, have operated the two Wild Birds Unlimited stores in Eugene. \nROSEBURG_LIBRARY_LOGO

SUMMARY:Umpqua Valley Migratory Bird Celebration – September 20th - Giving the swifts one last chance join the party!
DESCRIPTION:When:  Friday\, September 20\, 2024; beginning about 6:15 PM (sunset on the 20th is about 7:15) \nWhere:  Clay Place Chimney in the Fir Grove section of Stewart Park (off Harvard Ave. behind the Umpqua Valley Arts Center) \nUpdate:  If you’ve been following our updates\, you know the swifts aren’t using the Clay Place chimney\, but can still be seen around sunset in the sky and roosting in small numbers in a couple of residential chimneys.  So\, will they decide to start using the Clay Place Chimney as a roost before the southward migration is over?  Who knows! \nWith or without birds\, we will be celebrating the migration AND the Swift Sisters and Friends will be hosting a musical jam!  So join us! \nSo\, what’s going on with the swifts????? \n\nWas the migration really early this year\, and we just missed it?\nIs the migration really late this year\, and will the swifts still show up at the Clay Place?\nThere are reports of a huge gnat hatch in the Eugene area and we don’t seem to have a lot of bugs in the air here. Are the swifts just hanging out north of us\, stuffing themselves?\nDid wildfires in recent years create so many hollow snags that the swifts have been able to revert to more natural migratory roost sites?\nA hawk was regularly showing up at the chimney during the spring northward migration and the few nights this fall that we saw swifts at the Clay Place.

SUMMARY:Vaux's Swifts:  a west coast story
DESCRIPTION:Vaux’s Swifts:  a west coast story \nPresenter:  Larry Schwitters \nWednesday\, November 15 at 6:30 p.m. on Facebook Live \nYou’ve seen us with our clickers at Swift Watch – this is your chance to hear from the guy behind our clickers and data collection! \nLarry Schwitters started Audubon’s Vaux’s Happening Project in 2007 as a successful effort to save a school chimney that was one of only two well-known big number Vaux’s roost sites in Washington State. The project has now documented over 200 roosting sites from the Yukon to Guatemala that have sheltered roosting Vaux’s Swifts over 23 million times in the last 32 migrations.  Umpqua Valley Audubon Society has been submitting data since the project began and started our formal Swift Watches in 2011. \nSchwitters will also share images and information captured by the project’s chimney surveillance cameras\, precision temperature recorders\, and radio tracking transmitters. \nThe program is presented by the Umpqua Valley Audubon Society and the Roseburg Public Library. \nYou do not need a Facebook account to access the program.  Just use this link:  https://www.facebook.com/roseburglibrary \n

SUMMARY:Reintroduction of Sea Otters - Elakha Alliance
DESCRIPTION:Presentation \nKyle Motley\, Coastal Community Coordinator of the Elakha Alliance\, will tell us about efforts to return an iconic and once abundant native species to the Oregon Coast – the sea otter. \nFur traders of the 18th and 19th centuries wiped out the sea otter along most of the entire Pacific West Coast\, including Oregon. Russian trappers valued their pelts so much they referred to them as “soft gold.” The Elakha Alliance\, which derives its name from the Chinook trade-jargon-word for sea otter\, is working to undo that damage and promote a healthier and more resilient marine environment. The alliance is a consortium of tribal\, conservation\, and nonprofit leaders founded in 1999. Kyle will tell us how their work to reintroduce the sea otter is so much more than just taking a group of sea otters from one place and moving them to the Oregon Coast. \n  \nAbout Kyle \nKyle has an extensive background working with endangered species\, threatened ecosystems\, stakeholder engagement\, and watershed restoration projects on private and public lands. He received his MS in natural resources from the University of Vermont where he focused on forest ecology and has worked on monitoring\, restoration\, and forestry projects with the USFS\, the NPS\, and several local government agencies around the country. \nSince moving to the South Coast 6 years ago\, Kyle has worked with local non-profit groups to successfully implement habitat restoration projects focused on coho salmon and oak woodlands. He is extremely excited to be able to use his stakeholder engagement and community outreach skills for the Elakha Alliance. In his spare time\, Kyle likes to surf\, bike\, travel\, and read. In 2020 he completed a 2.5 month bike tour from Oregon to Virginia\, cycling across the continent for 4\,300 miles \nPresented in partnership with the Roseburg Public Library. \n
