I’m thrilled to share that I am speaking locally in September and would love to meet readers who live in the area! Join me Tuesday, September 10, 2024 in Mount Vernon, Washington for a 7pm presentation about the Be Bird Wise campaign, hosted by Skagit Audubon.

My presentation is titled Supporting Wild Birds and Working Landscapes in Skagit Valley: An Introduction to the Be Bird Wise campaign and how local birders can contribute (I am guilty of long titles—nothing like giving you a clue as to what it’s about, right?). Be Bird Wise is a coalition of stakeholders promoting responsible behavior while viewing migratory birds on the agricultural landscape.

I sit on the Be Bird Wise committee and contribute to its blog and newsletter (which you should subscribe to). I love writing about this effort and now I get to talk about it! Thank you, Skagit Audubon for the invitation!

The event takes place in the theatre at the Padilla Bay/Breazeale Interpretive Center (10441 Bayview Edison Rd, Mount Vernon, WA 98273) near Bayview, WA (map address is Mount Vernon). Doors open at 6:30pm. See you there!!
