Cliff Swallows by Dee Renee Ericks
Bob Boekelheide presented our March 2, 2024 Backyard Birding program. He described the phenomenon of bird migration—the natural rhythm of avian life that we can observe and study. Bob focused on the migratory bird species seen in Clallam County—discussing why they migrate, how they navigate, and the routes they travel. The program emphasized why migration stopovers in Clallam County, such as Dungeness Bay and riparian forests, are so important for certain species. Bob demonstrated a number of online resources to promote self-guided, ongoing study for those interested.
