The Oregon Birding Association congratulates Bird Alliance of Oregon on their new name, and their courageous decision to drop the name Audubon. We also changed our name a number of years ago in the interest of being more welcoming and inclusive to a growingly diverse community of those who love birds. It was a big change that took some getting used to, but we’ve been happy to be the Oregon Birding Association ever since. We look forward to continuing to partner with Bird Alliance of Oregon and sharing our passion for birds and birding.
