Event Details

For our September 16 program we will present shared favorite photos from YOU: our members and friends! We have some talented photographers in our audience (both amateur and professional) as well as avid birdwatchers.

This is not a contest – it is a chance to share bird images. Plan to submit up to three of your original photos with description, including where it was taken, identification information if possible, and why it’s a favorite of yours. We may need to select from your photos depending on the number of participants we have, so please prioritize your photos by order of submission.

What a beautiful time of year to photograph birds. We look forward to “PhotoSharing” with you!
Deadline for submissions is August 31.
Program is September 16, 2002 at 7:30 PM.

We are not sure if this will be a live program or a zoom program – we will update this information here once determined.

Why Birds Matter...

Birds are important because of the role they play in the natural world as pollinators and seed disbursers, assisting with the balance of nature by eating insects. They also clean up things that would go unattended otherwise. Birds are important TO ME because of the kinship that I feel with another living species, and the joy that they bring to me year around. Encountering spring migrants feels brand new every time! I feel responsibility for their well-being and take care not to disturb their nesting with unnecessary sounds, disturbance or habitat destruction. I respect the incredible work they do to bring about future generations.

Birds have always been an early warning system for our environment–the “canary in the coal mine.” It was the decline in bird species high on the food chain that tipped us off to the dangers of DDT and other chemicals. More recently, high altitude and high latitude birds are demonstrating the first definitive effects of global change. If science had been more advanced in the 1800s, the extinction of the Passenger Pigeon could have served as a warning about habitat destruction. This not just about protecting the birds–although that is a worthy goal–but all of these threats will ultimately reach the human race.

In addition to being indicators for environmental health, birds matter because they allow people all over the world to enjoy and appreciate nature. Caring about birds often leads to caring about their habitats and creates a stewardship ethic to protect our natural resources. Birds connect communities.
