The Heron Habitat Helpers will be hosting their annual birthday party for the great blue heron chicks hatched at Commodore Park. Volunteers will be available to answer questions about herons and telescopes are provided to get close looks at the nests.
The party will be in the east section of Commodore Park in the picnic area (I think) on Saturday, June 15th from 10 am to 1 pm. Details about Commodore Park and how to get there are available here.

Every summer Discovery Park runs a shuttle bus to the beach to handle crowds on weekends.
Have you been interested in giving birding a try or learning more about local birds? On Saturday, June 1st a free event will be hosted at the Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center in partnership with Seattle Parks & Rec.
There is an early birding session at 9:45 am. The main program runs from 11 am to 1 pm. An after program birding session starts at 1:15 pm.
