Tomorrow is the fall open house at Wild Birds unlimited in Pleasant Hill, where they’ll have gifts and great displays including our friends at Mt Diablo Audubon, Native Birds, International Bird Rescue and Research, and of course Worth A Dam to talk about building better bird habitat by letting your beavers stick around. Owner’s Mike and Cecil Williams have been enormous beaver supporters since way back in the dark ages when our valiant beavers were slated for extermination. A visit to their birdy shores is always a great opportunity to connect with friends, meet new contacts, and spread the beaver gospel to true believers.
To be honest, I’ve met a few “non-believers” there as well, what I would call B.A.F.T.C.’s (Beavers Always Flood the Creek) or T.R.O.P’s (They’ll Ruin Our Property). They were much better behaved than those in the city council and public works, and I tried to talk a little reasonable beaver management with them as well. Still, facts are like a sheet too short to cover your toes when a mistaken belief is allowed to stretch on that long.
Why don’t you come by and say hi and meet some amazing people doing great things for our avian community? We can all talk smack about Rossmoor and APHIS together, and you can get another glimpse at the infamous Wishpoosh (Castorides Ohioensis) and think how lucky it is for Martinez that he wasn’t in our creeks! If you missed your chance to have a Worth A Dam original tee shirt of your very own, you can pick one up for a song and help our beavers while you do it! Cheryl and I will be working and we’d be happy to answer questions. Cheryl can even give you some photography advice!
We have just learned that Native Bird Connenctions will also be bringing a Bald Eagle along with their Golden Eagle on Saturday, Oct. 3! The on going educational program will be from 11-3
This is a rare privledge and treat. Don’t miss it and be sure and bring your children and camera.
