2018 Migratory Bird Day
At Blackwell Island!
Spring is here and many birds have flown more than a thousand miles to fill our days with their songs and displays! Would you like to learn more about our local feathered friends? Come celebrate birds with the Coeur d’Alene Bureau of Land Management and the Coeur d’Alene Audubon Society! Migratory Bird Day at Blackwell Island will be held on Saturday May 19th from 9:00am-2:00pm. All ages are welcome to this FREE, family- friendly, outdoor event!
Activity Stations will include Join the Flock Art Project, Bird Song DJ Station, Hummingbird and Pinecone Feeder Project Stations, Scavenger Hunt and Guided Bird Walk, Migration Obstacle Course, Nests and Eggs Display, Fill the Bill Station, and Building Bird Habitat. We’ll also have our Bird Friendly Coffee Stand, the “Sweet Tweet Café”, where you can relax with a cup of bird-friendly gourmet coffee and a sweet treat! Don’t forget to get “banded” at our bird Banding Station and enjoy a live Birds of Prey Presentation at 11:30am.
Knowledgeable Coeur d’Alene Audubon Volunteers and BLM staff will be there at every step helping you to learn about and Celebrate Birds! You’ll learn: how birds communicate and which bird songs you are most likely to hear where you live, different bird habitats and how to create them, the wonders and perils of migration, the beauty of feathers, and how scientists learn about birds. Use your creative skills and your curiosity to earn prizes at each station. Make bird projects to take home!
Blackwell Island is located just west of Coeur d’Alene on the north side of the Lake. To get to the event: take Highway 95 south towards Moscow. Just after you cross the Spokane River turn right (north) into the Blackwell Island Recreation Area. Look for the sign! Check the weather before you come and plan accordingly.
