Wild Desert Calendar

Shannon Phifer   Website

Each year, Oregon Natural Desert Association shares awe-inspiring photography from Oregon’s dry side in our Wild Desert Calendar.

In this publication, you’ll enjoy dramatic eastern Oregon landscapes, captivating portraits of high desert plants and animals, inspiring prose, poetry, phases of the moon, meteor showers, wildflower blooms, migrating bird arrivals, and other high desert phenomena.

The Wild Desert Calendar is a benefit of ONDA membership. We send one complimentary calendar to all current members in late November. Donate to support desert conservation or renew your membership before November 1 to access this benefit.

Sample past calendars on our publications page.

“It feels good to support ONDA on a monthly basis, because I know they never stop supporting our public lands. ONDA works to help make our lands a better place for the future, and I feel like I’m a part of that every month with my support.”

Western Rattlesnake

Also known as the Great Basin Rattlesnake, these pit vipers have buff-tan coloring and small, oval blotches to blend into their arid surroundings. Small heat-sensing indentations on each side of the snake’s snout detects warm-blooded prey for better striking accuracy in the dark. Source: The Oregon Encyclopedia

Latin name: Crotalus oreganus lutosus
