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.

Madagascar, a place like nowhere else.

United Methodist Church 29645 51st Ave.South, Auburn, Washington, United States

Madagascar is the world’s fourth-largest island, situated off East Africa in the Indian Ocean. Isolated since it drifted away from India 88 million years ago, a very large percentage of its plants and animals are endemic, occurring nowhere else—95% of reptiles, 92% of mammals, 89% of plants, and 41% of birds. Dennis Paulson spent 18 days there in January 2016 and will share some of his wonderful experiences.
