The Warblers Are Coming!
Bird Lovers across the region are eagerly anticipating Spring migration and the return of the warblers. We have you covered with our first WARBLERPALOOZA ... bird walks all over the DMV to catch glimpses of our tiny friends.
This is also the perfect time of year to remind ourselves about what we can do to help our migrating feathered friends. Light pollution and window collisions cause an alarming number of bird fatalities, especially in migration when many species travel overnight. We can all do our part by turning off exterior decorative lighting and using anti-collision decals on windows. For more, check out our partners at City Wildlife and the Lights Out DC initiatives.
See you outside!
