Click here for information on Vesper Meadow, a private conservation effort that is restoring mountain meadows and forest in the southern Cascades. The owl seems to approve. The meadow is named for the Vesper Sparrow which breeds there, at the very far western edge of its range in southern Oregon. It is hoped this preservation and restoration program will aid the great little singer in its battle to survive.
They do not breed in Ashland but you can click here to see more pics I got of this one in town as he was returning from a winter vacation to the south.
