We know now that in order to sustain bird species, we need to keep a focus on the pristine wild places of the world that are crucial breeding birds. But we have learned that is just as important to focus on the common birds that are so familiar to us. Almost all the birds we take for granted - the robins, jays, chickadees, sparrows, and finches, among other - are in severe decline all across the continent. This knowledge has prompted a new effort to keep common birds common. The good news is: now, more than ever before in our history - your backyard can make a valuable contribution to the survival of the birds we love. Come hear master birder Connie Sidles tell you about these new findings and what you can do to make a difference. Constance Sidles is a master birder and long-time member of Birds Connect Seattle where she has been on the Conservation Committee and Chair of the Publications Committee. She has written four books about nature focusing on her favorite “backyard” Montlake Fill, otherwise known as the Union Bay Natural Area at the Center for Urban Horticulture. Her most recent book, Forty-Six Views of Montlake Fill includes poems and Sumi paintings about how to find joy in the connections we make with nature and with each other.
