*RESCHEDULED DUE TO SNOW! NEW DATE: FEBRUARY 20TH
The White Birds of Winter are here! Thousands of Trumpeter and Tundra Swans and Snow Geese have migrated from Alaska and Canada to feed in the farm fields of Washington. On Thursday, February 20th at 7pm, Wildlife Biologist Martha Jordan will share entertaining stories and a spectacular slide show about these magnificent birds.
Register online through the Adopt A Stream Foundation’s Nature Store, www.streamkeeper.org/thenaturestore , or call 425-316-8592 to reserve your spot: $10 general admission; $8 Adopt A Stream Foundation Members.
Martha, the Director of the NW Swan Conservation Association (https://nwswans.org/), will explain the myths and share the facts about these beautiful birds. During this Streamkeeper Academy event, which is geared for middle school students to adults, you will learn about swan and snow geese life history, biology, and some identification tips.
You will also learn the best places to view them now in Washington State. Martha will also shed some light on the problems and controversies (including lead poisoning and habitat destruction) migratory birds face on their Washington State wintering grounds. Through her beautiful photographs, Martha will teach you how to tell these birds apart and where you can go to see them now. Pick up a free Swan & Goose Identification pamphlet at the Adopt A Stream Foundation’s Northwest Stream Center (www.streamkeeper.org )before your next local bird watching excursion.
Proceeds from White Birds of Winter benefit NW Swan Conservation Society and the Adopt A Stream Foundation’s Streamkeeper Academy.
