Urban Birding

October 25, 2026 9:00 AM –11:00 AM

Overview

Join Puget Sound Estuarium for beginner bird watching. You'll get an introduction to using binoculars, learn about the local and migratory birds, and get info on current restoration projects.

The guides will show you tips and tricks for spotting birds. You can test out different views through our binoculars, monoculars, and scope. The tablet adapter makes it easy for everyone to view birds together. Help collect data for scientific use and take home a list of local birds to keep an eye out for next time.

The people will be making a loop around downtown, stopping along the way to observe how birds have adapted to live in urban areas.

As people talk about how Olympia’s estuaries have changed, are changing, and the effect it has on birds.
