About a year ago, along with the Gamble House hummingbird cantina, we installed a nest box in front of our office as a morale booster after the devastating fires affected our community. This spring our hopes have come to fruition. Although designed for Western Bluebirds, an Oak Titmouse pair has made themselves a nursery in the box, and it looks like they’re gearing up for a nice big brood! Happy spring!!!

Pasadena Audubon is pleased to announce that we are now accepting Spring 2026 applications for our Research and Educational Grants program. We’re offering grants up to $5,000 to help fund both scientific research and community-based programs. We’re particularly interested in avian research that’s relevant to Southern California or the Pacific Flyway.

We’re also offering grants up to $1,000 to young birders and students (undergraduate and graduate) to help defray the rising costs of scientific conferences and related events.

The deadline for applications is fast approaching, April 3rd, 2026, and applicants will be notified of acceptance by April 20, 2026. Full details are online at www.pasadenaaudubon.org/grants .

AFC has a camera regularly set up at Arlington Garden, and in addition to photographing terrestrial mammals, these cameras can get birds! Check out the photos Ruby’s camera got of the Arlington Garden feeders’ first visitors and go check out and the feeders for yourself in person!

We can’t wait for the Pasadena Christmas Bird Count this Saturday! If you want to help out with the count email Jon ([email protected]) or the Field Trip Committee ([email protected]) to see if there are any last minute assignments available. Technically, the count goes until just before midnight, but you might want to take the hours between 6pm and 9pm off to attend the CBC Dinner! The Dinner for the 80th Annual PAS Christmas Bird Count, which culminates with Jon Fisher’s electrifying call and response species tally, will be held on the evening of the count. The menu will be all-you-can eat pizza and pasta, with vegetarian options. Please visit the link in bio for tickets.
