You have been tagged because you are the top observers for Oregon Orthoptera (Grasshoppers, Crickets and Katydids) sightings. The purpose of this post to grab a few volunteers to help me in this project.
The Purpose of the Project
To collect data from all suitable habitats in Oregon to comprise a complete and thorough identification field guide to Oregon Orthoptera. As of January 17, 2020, there are 136 species of grasshopper and crickets recorded in Oregon but this number can and probably will increase with the help of devoted volunteers.
What data am I collecting?
When you collect data on an Orthoptera species, here's the information I would like those volunteering will collect.
These eight aspects cover any data needed to help me develop the outline to creating the Orthoptera field guide.
How can you prepare?
There are several ways for you prepare for the 2020 Orthoptera season. So here's what you can do.
I've created a current list of Orthoptera species in Oregon in the following link. It also includes a list of genera that are influx so the genus itself counts as "one" species until new information comes forth.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, I hope you have just as much interest as I am to document Orthoptera in Oregon. If you have any questions, feel free to comment and I'll get back with you as soon as possible.

I'd be happy to contribute to this project and would like the Google Form. Any suggested resources aside from the Orthoptera species in Oregon list? Best way to learn photography methods for id and sex? Measurement methods?
@ldibiccari I'm currently in the making of a post to show how photography/measurement methods. I will tag you in the post once I finish.
If you come to Keizer, Oregon right now there are hundreds of pallid-winged grasshoppers, and California grasshoppers. And in the area surrounding Clear Lake elementary, they are everywhere!
