Backyard Discoveries:
BIRD FEEDER WATCH
Saturday, February 4, 2012 --
10am – 1pm
at
Poulsbo Library (700 NE Lincoln Rd, Poulsbo)
Join Stillwaters and guest presenters to learn about attracting birds to your backyard, identifying those who visit and learning about a wonderful way to record observations. We will be joined by a member of the Kitsap Audubon Society and will visit some backyards where there is some significant feeder activity. The Feeder Watch program is a website that allows citizens to record their monthly observations of birds using their feeder stations.
By building a strong connection with your backyard, neighborhood or watershed, you will be learning about your place in the natural world. You will understand the natural ecosystem that supports all of us and of which we are a part. You may be new to your yard or have lived there all your life, but we hope to show you a whole new world!Pre-register at 360-297-1226.
COST:
$20/person, $35/couple. Includes beverages and snacks. This workshop is being offered to people ages 15 and above.

MONITORING TEAM OPENINGS AVAILABLE
Is water monitoring in your future? The Cutthroats of Carpenter Creek Stream & Estuary Monitoring Team has a few openings. The creek is monitored at four sites on one Sunday every month. The Estuary Team monitors the salt marsh, estuary, cove nd marina, also on one Sunday a month.
Each monitor’s commitment is for 1 - 2 hours on that Sunday. All monitors are trained and supervised by the Kitsap County Stream Team, a program of Kitsap Surface and Storm Water Management.
You don’t need an extensive science background to learn to do these tests. Monitors are trained “on the job” and in annual training updates by the County and Sea Grant staff.
