Spring Migration Brings Colorful Birds!

White-crowned Sparrows and Yellow-rumped Warblers have left the building! Now we are seeing tons of Blue Grosbeaks, Lazuli Buntings, Western Tanagers, and so many orioles! Dust off your binoculars and look for some of those colorful beauties!

 

May Schedule of Events

Migration is in full swing and we have some exciting events coming up this month!

Native Plant Show & Tell - Saturday, May 10th at 9:30am in store

Join us at the store for a special presentation about Native Plants from Laura Bauer of Growing Works Nursery in Camarillo. We'll be opening the store EARLY at 9am so you can find a parking spot! Coffee and donuts will be served and native plants will be discussed!

Bird Walk - Sunday, May 18th 8am - 10am

It's time to stretch our legs and see some birds! Spring migration brings us a variety of colorful birds like orioles, tanager, grosbeaks and buntings, so this is a great time to join a bird walk! We're going to be birding at Harmon Canyon Preserve. Meet at 8am in the parking lot. Bring binoculars and water. Harmon Canyon is located at 7511 Foothill Road in Ventura. 

Birding By Ear: Spring Songs - Saturday, May 24th 2pm on ZOOM

Who is that singing in your yard? Birds make a lot of noise, especially this time of year, and each sound conveys something different. People who have practiced listening to the birds are able to tell what birds are in an area, what they are doing, if there are any threats around, and much more! We're going to talk about some of the different bird sounds and get started learning some common spring songs!
