Climate watch
A citizen science program started by Audubon in 2016 exploring how North American birds are responding to climate change.
Our target species is the red-breasted nuthatch.
We go to the same location 2 times a year and count how many birds we hear and see for 5 minutes.
Puget Sound seabird study
Coordinated and managed by Puget Sound Bird Observatory.
It takes place from October thru April.
We have 2 sites: Jensen Point and Tahlequah.
The birds we record have to be in the water in order for them to be counted. We record their location within a specific radius for 30 minutes.
Fourth grade birding program
The program was started by Carol Ferch, a teacher at Chautauqua, in 1990.
The program is still going strong with partnerships between Vashon Bird Alliance, Vashon Nature Center, Vashon Artists in the School and Partners in Education.
