This webinar will explore how to bring more birds to your home with native plants. Find out how to create a Pacific Northwest bird habitat that provides birds with food, shelter, and nesting sites year-round. Whether you are in a house, a tiny home, or an apartment, your outdoor space can become a sanctuary for you and the birds. We will have three master gardeners come in and share some of their tips and answer your questions about gardening for birds.
It’s “birding for dollars!”
It’s time for the May Birdathon! It’s fun and easy to participate. Simply count as many bird species in one day as you can! Choose any day in May. Have family, friends, and co-workers sponsor you, then go birding! Afterwards, send your sponsors a list of the birds you saw, and they will donate X amount for each species (i.e. $1 or another amount). Or they can donate a flat fee. 100% of the proceeds support Rainier Audubon activities in south King County.
The Creston Valley Bird festival is back to celebrate birds and nature. This is the 10th anniversary of the Creston Valley Bird Festival! Come and celebrate with us!
There are lots of options for guided birding tours by kayak, bus, foot or lawn chair! There are also many valley events such as farm tours, food events, star gazing and art workshops.
Light pollution attracts and disorients nocturnally migrating birds, making them more likely to land in areas where they are more vulnerable to collisions and other dangers. At least 100 million birds die every year from colliding with buildings in the United States alone. Artificial light also impacts birds in the breeding and winter seasons, disrupting feeding and other vital behaviors. Because artificial light affects birds in so many ways, it is impossible to know just how many birds are impacted by light pollution every year around the globe. Throughout the year we will spread the message to “dim the lights for birds at night” and highlight the steps that individuals, communities, and governments can take to reduce the impact of light pollution on our shared birds.
