The Audubon Bird Migration Explorer
Migrating birds have made amazing journeys of thousands of miles from the tropics to seek suitable breeding areas in the northern boreal forest and tundra in North America, Europe, and Asia. Most of this migration occurs at night when most humans are sleeping, but researchers in recent years have developed techniques to track birds during their spring and fall migrations.

Green Tip of the Month
The National Weather Service forecasts an above-average temperature for July, particularly in the Pacific Northwest. Furthermore, the Seattle area has experienced approximately 6 inches less rainfall than usual, alongside a lower-than-normal snowpack. To address these issues, I would like to share some tips on reducing water waste while watering plants and containers.
What time do the whales show up?
Every June, Washington State, Oregon, and British Columbia celebrate Orca Action Month (www.orcamonth.org). There are two distinct populations of orcas that can be found in the Salish Sea and off the coast of the Pacific Northwest, the mammal-eating Biggs (or Transient) population and the fish-eating Southern Resident population.
