���� Our coast is more than a beautiful place—it’s essential bird habitat. Washington’s outer coast provides vital habitat for coastal birds ranging from local residents like snowy plovers to remarkable long-distance travelers like bar-tailed godwits, which breed in Asia and often winter in New Zealand. Why do these birds come here? How are coastal bird populations doing? And what can
we do to help? Join us and special guest speaker, Allison Anholt, Coastal Birds Lead Biologist for Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife for Conserving Local Coastal Birds and discover why our beaches, mudflats, and rocky shores matter so much.
