Spokane Audubon Society World Migratory Bird Day

Have you noticed the skyways are a little busier than usual? That’s because it’s migration season for our feathered friends! More than half of American breeding birds are migratory, which means over 300 species have been winging it back to Spokane since late winter. To catch a glimpse of some of our returned neighbors, join the Spokane Audubon Society for one of their special events on World Migratory Bird Day this Saturday. Search for rare species during a guided hike on Mount Spokane, watch waterfowl at Medical Lake Waterfront Park and the Reardan Audubon Lake Wildlife Area, or bring your family to a kid-friendly tour of Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge. Most tours will provide you with binoculars if you let them know beforehand. Good luck!
