Avian Ad Libs
United Methodist Church 29645 51st Ave.South, Auburn, Washington, United StatesPerhaps you’re one of those who consider science and humor to belong in two separate camps which, due to language differences, are committed to never speaking to each other. But cartoonist Gary Larson went a long way in disproving that myth. Through his rather warped sense of humor he allowed us not only to appreciate the contributions of science but also enabled us to better understand ourselves by bringing down our defenses so we could laugh at ourselves as seen through the eyes of cows, insects, dragons, and yes, even birds.

Migratory Bird Explorer
Last month, Audubon announced the Bird Migration Explorer, a first-of-its-kind, interactive, digital platform that visualizes the heroic annual journeys of 458 North American migratory species. The culmination of years of collaboration and scientific contributions from hundreds of researchers and institutions, the Explorer will transform the way we approach the toughest conservation challenges and our relationship with the birds we all love.
Fall Color and Fall Birds, continued
The last one was so much fun, we’re doing it again! Let’s hit some of the places we missed on our October field trip. There are more picturesque parks and beaches to check out in King and Pierce County and it’s a great time of year to look for returning fall birds. This is a good time of year to encounter scenic views and fall color. Expect to walk short distances from the cars. People who wish to leave early may do so.
