It is possible we need to change the event timings for the safety of the falcon.&nbsp; **Weather Conditions: If the weather is otherwise unsafe for the falcon, we will reschedule either to a different time during the same day or another day.

Harry Fuller All Inclusive Late Spring Malheur Birding Program

An Introduction to Recording Natural Sounds in Eastern Oregon&rsquo;s High Desert, Landscape: A Workshop at the Malheur Field Station near Burns&nbsp;June, 10-14, 2027 The 5-day, small-group size (limited to 13 people), workshop held at the Malheur Field Station (MFS) near Burns, Oregon in eastern Oregon&rsquo;s high desert will provide hands-on experience in the technique of field audio recording. &nbsp;Workshop participants will learn about natural sounds, how to use several kinds of microphones, a variety of digital audio recorders, and appropriate software to record, edit, and produce a sound-based project for themselves and that will become part of an archive based at the Field Station.&nbsp; MFS&rsquo; unique location in Oregon&rsquo;s beautiful and normally quiet, dark-sky country provides an excellent opportunity to record a diversity of natural sounds in various high-desert habits including, sagebrush and wetlands, as well as a place to enjoy the nocturnal chorus of coyotes and Great Horned Owls.&nbsp; Several hundred bird species have been reported from the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, a significant bird number reflecting its importance as a high-desert wetland for songbirds, waterfowl, shorebirds, and other migrant birds. No prior knowledge of audio recording is required, but it would be helpful. Similarly, participants won&rsquo;t need to own any specialized audio recording equipment, as that will be made available for you to use during the workshop, but it would be helpful if you bring your cell phone (with the free Merlin app already installed), and if you have one also bring a hand-held audio recorder, headphones, and a laptop computer. You will also get experience using Audacity, a free audio editing application, as well as several other computer applications such as: Logic Pro, Reaper, Chirpity, and Raven Lite. ItineraryDay 1 Thursday: Arrive at MFS by late afternoon and meet for shared dinner and for introductions, evening orientation/presentations, and afterwards spend some time on the MFS campus by climbing the nearby South Coyote Butte and listening for calling coyotes, Common Nighthawks, and perhaps even the rare Poorwill, which is occasionally heard in this area.&nbsp; Day 2 Friday: After getting coffee and picking up a brown-bag breakfast to take with us, we will make an early-morning carpool to nearby Malheur Wildlife Refuge, where we will spend time listening to the rich soundscape filled with the calls of a variety of breeding birds and other wildlife, including Marsh Wrens, Yellow-headed Blackbirds, Song Sparrow, Common Yellowthroats, American Bitterns, Pied-billed Grebes, and perhaps even the bubbling sound of displaying Ruddy Ducks at tule and cattail marshes. We will also try finding a suitable place to leave a recorder overnight to record night sounds and dawn chorus.After returning to MFS for lunch, we will learn how to use the microphones and recorders in preparation for our recording trips over the next 2 days. Once everyone feels ready to start recording, we will go to the nearby Refuge Headquarters, which is a great place to see and record migrating songbirds, such as colorful Yellow Warblers and Western Tanagers, as well as several flycatchers, and vireos. After making recordings for an hour or so, we will return to MSF to audition our recordings using the Audacity app and discuss what we heard and have a question-and-answer session. After dinner you can return to the Refuge to make your own evening recordings or climb the nearby South Coyote Butte and listen for and record calling coyotes and Poorwills. Day 3 Saturday: After getting coffee and picking up a brown-bag breakfast and for lunch to take with us, we will have an early morning carpool trip to various soundscapes in the Blitzen Valley part of the Refuge. We plan to drive down Center Patrol Road (CPR) heading south towards Buena Vista Overlook. CPR passes through diverse habitats, including wet meadows, alkali playa, ponds of various sizes, deepwater bulrush and cattail marshes, and willow-lined riparian habitats along the Blitzen River, providing many excellent opportunities to practice using the recording equipment to make recordings.&nbsp; We will have a brown-bag lunch at Buena Vista, if we have not already eaten, and depending on how late it is, we will drive south towards Page Springs and stop at rimrock habitats located on both sides of the valley where Rock and Canyon Wrens are nesting and singing. We hope to be able to stop and record at other soundscapes, such as Krumbo Reservoir and the Frenchglen warm springs, if we have time. After returning to MFS for dinner, we will audition our recordings and discuss what we heard and have a question-and-answer session. Day 4 Sunday: After having a long day of recording on Saturday, you will have the morning free to explore the area and make additional recordings at nearby habitats of your choosing. Then after lunch, we can audition your recordings, as well as making an archive of the edited recordings to leave at MFS and for your own recording library. Later that afternoon and evening, we will have group discussions on what we learned during the workshop and to get your input on what changes could be made to make the workshop to make it more effective and enjoyable.Day 5 Monday: Return home or stick around and do further acoustic exploring either in the Refuge, or by going north into the strawberry Wilderness and Ochoco and Malheur National Forests, or going south to explore the Alvord Desert and Steens and Pueblo Mt. areas.&nbsp; InstructorsNick McMahan (https://www.nickcmcmahan.com/), is a Washington-based nature and sound recordist whose specialty is in soundscapes, ambience, binaural, rare and unusual sounds. Nick&rsquo;s project, &ldquo;Searching for Quiet&rdquo; was featured in a televised Oregon Field Guide segment (https://youtu.be/8puZ72wgnok). Nick&rsquo;s Searching for Quiet miniseries actually grew out of his experience traveling to the quietest place in Oregon for the OPB Oregon Field Guide story. He is also on the Board of Quiet Parks International and Nick is the Director of Quiet Trails. Ron Larson, PhD, is a retired biologist based in Klamath Falls, Oregon, now with Oregon Lakes Association. He has studied the ecoacoustics of wetlands and forests, and has made extensive recordings of natural sounds in eastern Oregon and internationally. Ron recently authored The Natural History of Oregon&rsquo;s Lake Abert in the Great Basin Landscape.&nbsp;
