Found an injured, ill, abandoned, or dead bird?
Think twice BEFORE intervening!
Many young birds that appear to be abandoned or unable to fly are just fine where they are. Unwell-appearing birds may have a contagious illness or have been affected by pesticides. Birds may have injuries from cats or windows. Dead birds may have had a contagious illness. Birds may be aggressive when handled. There are things you can do. Click HERE for more info! |
Summer News:
Sean Terry, from Trust for Public Land and Kim Woodford, from Journey On Yonder, arranged two bird walks this past spring for BIPOC members of marginalized communities in NE Ohio. The walks were designed to bring birding experiences to people from communities where bird walks have traditionally not been available. A few KBC members got to join Sean and Kim and about 20 others to enjoy birding at Magee Marsh and at Cleveland Lakefront Nature Preserve. Enthusiasm was everywhere and it looked like the birding spark was lit for a number of the attendees. Expect to see more birding opportunities for people of color from Trust for Public Land and Journey on Yonder. Needless to say all people of color and members of all marginalized groups are welcome at our events. Let's make sure all new members of the KBC community feel like they belong! Black Birder Week runs from May 26th to June 1st.
A big thank you to the Stolier Family Foundation!

Sad but important lesson from the death of Flaco, the Eurasian Eagle-Owl who mesmerized New Yorkers and birders around the world.
Laura Erickson, a nationally renowned birder, writer, and radio host who has presented programs to Kirtland Bird Club in the past, wrote a moving piece for her blog (For the Birds" about Flacco and his demise called Flaco: Post-Mortem, the FIVE fundamental freedoms. She's kindly allowed us to share it. Click HERE to read it - or listen to it.
