Bird of the Week

Each of these gorgeous videos highlights photos of a particular bird species and plays audio of their songs and sounds. Some videos even show us an inside look into the bird’s world by being a live-action video of the bird interacting with its environment.

Mary Birchem, Outreach & Education Coordinator of the Capitol Land Trust, teamed up with local birders and photographers to bring you Capitol Land Trust’s new Bird of the Week video series. The series focuses on sharing the incredible diversity of feathered friends that call our region home and benefit from local land conservation.

This series is it makes birding more accessible, by bringing the birds to you! And hopefully, some of the memories of it will return when you hear or see these birds again in real life.

And if you didn’t already click on the link above, here is is again so that you can catch up on the back-videos and look forward to the ones on future Fridays: Bird of the Week

I highly recommend Homewaters — for the way it introduces the components of the Puget Sound ecosystem, but especially for how it weaves the various parts together.
