Hello All!
We will resume our walks in Glen Echo Park this Saturday, April 12, at 8:30. We would have started last Saturday, but the weather has been uncooperative. The weather looks good for the 12th. We meet, as always, at the 4th Street entrance to the park to have the sun at our back. We will send out weekly reminders for the future walks.

Hope to see you there!

Hi! Check out the February issue of Song Sparrow, the Columbus Audubon newsletter, edited by our own John Finn. Among the articles is a report about the Lazuli Bunting that has made Ohio its winter home.

Birds make sounds to communicate, whether to find a potential mate, ward off predators, or just sing for pleasure. But the conditions that contribute to the immense diversity of the sounds they make are not well understood. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison .... read the rest.....

BirdCast predicts 266 MILLION birds will migrate across the continental U.S. this evening!

Want to help birds migrate to their destination safely?
🌟Reduce artificial light at night so they can see the stars to navigate their ancient flyways
🌟Save birds from colliding with windows and other structures by making glass visible to birds! You can do this by drawing blinds and/or curtains, installing external screens, or dressing up your windows with decals, paint, and external films.

Check out the toolkit linked below for more ways you can help reduce preventable collisions!🔗

Happy Migration Monday! 🎉🕊️🐥🐦🦢

Bird migration forecasts show predicted nocturnal migration 3 hours after local sunset and are updated every 6 hours. These forecasts come from models trained on the last 23 years of bird movements in the atmosphere as detected by the US NEXRAD weather surveillance radar network.
