Next General Meeting Program: Thursday, May 8, 2025
Our monthly programs feature a guest speaker presenting a subject of interest to those who love birds. We have nine programs a year, with no program in July, August and December, on the second Thursday of the month, and they are free and open to the public. Drop by and enjoy the company as we all learn something new from our featured guest. See our Calendar or Events List for upcoming programs.
A Riot of Color: Costa Rican Birds — Presentation of our trip to Costa Rica in February 2025 Thursday, May 8
We found Costa Rica to be a palette of colors, shapes, sizes, and behaviors of birds. Come and see our photos of the land of “Pura Vida” – pure life – meaning a positive attitude, appreciation for simple things, and a stress-free, laid-back lifestyle.
This is our annual membership meeting to elect new board members and discuss relevant business with Whidbey Audubon Society members. We’ll sweeten the meeting with an ice cream social. Yum!
Patty Cheek, Linda Dwight, Carol Russo, Linda and Gordy Griesbach, Vincent Ho, Karen and Steve Jordan, Barbara Paul, Lance Porter and Vivian Stembridge, Jo Prussia, Niles Primrose and Eileen Ryan.
There will be an update of the Birdathon fundraising and species count from the participating teams. Make your pledge to the team of your choice.
Also we’ll share last minute details about Wings over Whidbey Bird Festival on May 17. Hopefully we’ll be able to announce the winners of the three scholarship awards to graduating high school seniors.
The event is free and open to the public. It is at the Coupeville Recreation Hall, 901 NW Alexander Street. Doors open at 7 p.m. for socializing and refreshments, followed by a short business meeting at 7:15. The program begins at 7:30. Volunteers welcome to help set up and bring refreshments.
