Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Holiday Open House on December 6. This annual community event brought together birders, families, and supporters from across Seattle for an afternoon filled with connection, learning, and appreciation for the birds we love.

The atmosphere was buzzing as guests enjoyed conservation-minded holiday shopping, sampled bird-friendly coffee from Cloud City Coffee, and took photos with John the Falconer’s live birds. Experiences like this deepen our community’s understanding of bird conservation in Seattle and inspire people to take action.
