Spring Bird Count

Since 2004, the Cortes Island Museum has led a Spring Migration Bird Count, usually held on the first Saturday of May.

Below are a couple of comments we received from participants:

“It was a fun activity to do at home and I learned a lot about these birds, even though the weather was not great for spotting, it was great for reading up about them.”

“This was a fantastic ‘event’ for us, lots of fun, and much for us to learn. Thank you.”
