NEW!!! CHANGE OF CITY, VENUE, & TIME FOR Owl Box Building Event on Saturday, February 4, 2012
Sadly, erosion issues at Finnriver Farm necessitated moving our event from that fabulous location this winter. Instead, we’ll be gathering at the Edmonds City Park shelter in Edmonds, WA at the following times:
10:00 – 11:30 Bird Walk
11:30 – 12:30 Break for lunch (bring a picnic to enjoy in the park, or visit one of the many good restaurants in town)
12:30 – 2:30 Bird Box Building
Space is limited to 20 participants. Check back soon for details on how to RSVP.
Don’t Forget!
Join PSBO Board Member and Birds Wintering in Urban Landscapes Project Manager Christine Southwick at Molbak’s Nursery in Woodinville, Washington, on Saturday, January 14, 2012, to learn how to attract birds to your backyard.
Check our our Events Calendar for more activities–like bird banding most weekends through April!
Happy 2012 from PSBO!
We wish all of our volunteers, members, and other supporters a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year. We hope to see you at one of our events soon!
Hotline for Reporting Dead or Sick Swans
In a continuing effort to monitor Trumpeter Swans that have succumbed to lead poisoning, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) has re-established a hotline to report dead or ill swans in Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish counties.
People can call (360) 466-4345, ext. 266, to report dead or sick swans. Callers should be prepared to leave a message including their name and phone number, and the location and condition of the swans. The hotline is available 24 hours a day through the end of March.
