NOTE: We are cancelling Wednesday's program because of the weather. We will try to reschedule for a later date. Between
365 million to 1 billion birds are killed by window collisions in the
United States each year. By getting involved with collision prevention
and monitoring efforts, you can help. Kim Nelson, Skagit Audubon
Society, will examine the effectiveness, aesthetics, and affordability
of window treatments used in collision prevention as well as collision
monitoring programs on Wednesday, January 15, 7 p.m., at the Island
County Multi-Purpose Center, 141 N East Camano Drive (Blue
Building). There will also be examples of window treatments. Kim Nelson has a MA in Biology from Miami University. Her studies focused on community engagement regarding avian conservation issues with an emphasis in bird-window collision prevention at zoological facilities. She recently joined Skagit Audubon Society and has been assisting with educational programs and field trips. The
Camano Wildlife Habitat Project, sponsored by Friends of Camano Island
Parks, hosts public presentations the third Wednesday of the month. For
