Join us for a special evening celebrating birds, wetlands, and the people working to protect them. The evening will feature a fundraiser social, live music, food, beverages, photo gallery, and a raffle.

Their waterbird emergency hospital needs donations to continue caring for sick birds that have been affected by the avian botulism outbreak at the Refuges.

5:30 PM: Meet fellow bird enthusiasts and enjoy acoustic music, drinks and food

6:00 - 6:45 PM: Local wetland advocate Teresa “Bird” Wicks will discuss the importance of protecting wetland habitat in the Klamath Basin.
