Eastside Audubon celebrated the summer solstice with back-to-back evening bird walks—our first since before COVID—and the weather couldn't have cooperated more.
Bird Banding: Helping Research and Educating Ourselves
While attending the Western Field Ornithology conference in August, I decided to try something new and skipped the field trip one morning to participate in a bird banding workshop. It was my first experience with bird banding, and it was a treat to see birds close-up and hold a live bird in my hand!
April President's Letter
The year is off to a good start and I hope the same is true for you. On January 13, the EAS board participated in a day-long retreat to talk about roles, goals and priorities. It was a good opportunity to discuss the areas in the chapter that need attention, both from the board’s point of view and the executive director’s.
Blue-winged Teal
Eastside Audubon’s Bird of the Month for April 2019 is the Blue-winged Teal. The male Blue-winged Teal has a dramatic white crescent curving down across its face. While in flight a silvery blue patch on the leading edge of the wing and a green speculum on the secondaries marking a contrast visible in flight.

Creating Bird-Friendly Communities
A major goal of Eastside Audubon is the creation of bird-friendly communities in the Northwest and beyond. One way to expand our message is to share the information with other nonprofits, civic groups, clubs, and classrooms interested in learning more about the role they can play in creating a bird-friendly environment.
