Oregon Coordinated Aquatic Bird Monitoring Program
Location: Lake County, OR Updated: March 12, 2009
Organization: Klamath Bird Observatory Primary contact: Jaime Stephens
The objective of the Oregon Coordinated Aquatic Bird Monitoring Program is to meet the information needs of regional land managers and conservation organizations regarding ecosystem conservation in Oregon. Specifically, with a focus on wetlands and associated aquatic birds, we will identify and coordinate existing monitoring efforts, identify knowledge gaps limiting wetland bird conservation, and implement new efforts that inform and measure the effectiveness of wetlands management. By coordinating monitoring efforts across organizations and agencies, and identifying existing and potential partnerships, we can best use disparate funding to meet overall wetland conservation objectives. This project was initiated by Klamath Bird Observatory (KBO) in the spring of 2008, and is a regional step-down component of larger projects such as the Intermountain West Waterbird Conservation Plan (WCP), the Intermountain West Coordinated Bird Monitoring Program (IWCBM), and the Oregon Conservation Strategy. We have already begun to address 4 main survey components through this program, which include Secretive Marshbirds, Breeding Colonies, Migrating Shorebirds, and Ground based Waterbirds.
North Clackamas Park Riparian Buffer and Oak Woodland Enhancement
Location: Clackamas County, OR Updated: October 12, 2009
Organization: North Clackamas Parks and Rec Primary contact: Tonia Burns
This project involves weed control and replanting of the riparian buffer of Mt. Scott and Camas Creek in North Clackamas Park. Camas Creek is a short spring-fed creek running entirely within the park and draining into Mt. Scott Creek. We are also working on enhancing the Oregon White Oak woodland in the park through replanting of additional oaks, altering mowing schedules to allow for native herbaceous seeding, removing invasive hawthorne and cherry trees, removing fencing, and more.

This is a riparian enhancement project focusing on a small section of Boardman Creek. This project was made possible through a partnership between North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District (NCPRD) and Oak Lodge Sanitary District (OLSD).
Delta Ponds Turtle Habitat Enhancement
Location: Lane County, OR Updated: June 23, 2009
Organization: City of Eugene Primary contact: Eric Wold
Delta Ponds is a 150-acre waterway site consisting of numerous ponds, channels, wetlands, and associated riparian areas. This unique natural area owned by the City of Eugene borders a stretch of the Willamette River, just downstream from Valley River Center. Partners are now looking for funding to restore and improve habitat for the Western Pond turtle. The Delta Ponds are utilized by the native western pond turtles, with an estimated population of approximately sixty individuals currently present in the ponds. However, the turtle population is not thriving in the system for a number of reasons including limited habitat, predation, and competition by the red-eared slider, an introduced turtle species. The western pond turtle has specialized habitat needs during its life cycle including areas for nesting, overwintering, and rearing. Although Delta Ponds does provide aspects of good habitat for the pond turtle, improvements in all habitat categories, as well as reduction of predation, are needed for the population to thrive. The project includes creating new basking structures, enhancing nesting areas, and fencing the turtles away from cars and parking lots.
