A must visit place for all, whether you are a birder, or an outdoor loving person, or in general appreciate diversity in life.

Great selection of books. Amazing selection of scopes and binoculars, high and low end. The employees were great and very helpful.

Upgraded my Optics for birding here. The manager David Garcia is very knowledgeable, helpful and most importantly unbiased (not favoring one company or the other, just focused on helping me get the best gear for the budget I proposed and patiently answered all my questions while I was testing potential gear). Nice friendly atmosphere, vast selection of spotting scopes, binoculars, books, bird seed and even toys. If you are a birder and looking for optics, this is the best place to check them out in the city.

Questions & Answers

Hello. There appears to be a crow in my neighborhood that cannot fly. I saw it a few days ago on a walk. It was w another crow on the sidewalk. The one flew away and the other appeared to be unable. Can it be rescued?

It may be a fledgling, still under the care of its parents. They often have a brief period after hopping out of the nest when they can't fly. You can tell it's a juvenile by it's bluish eyes and a pink mouth. If the adults are still attending to it, it'll hopefully start to fly shortly and get out of harm's way. Unless it's visibly injured, bringing it to a rescue shelter may actually reduce its chances. Crows are usually very good parents :)

Can we put our bird feeders out now.. is the salmonella gone now?

I heard as long as you washed the feeders it's okay.idid mine and hummingbird and chickidees is fine.

So it's ok to feed wild birds right!?!?! I heard chickens have bird flu due to over crowding. Feeding wild crows,chickidees and ducks is still okay,am I correct???

As long as you are feeding them proper bird feed, it is ok. We have bird feeders in our backyard too.

What has happened to the small birds that were around earlier this year?

They are still around, although some of the ones are thinking of may have migrated. You can look at the location via the audubon app and explore sightings. I've been seeing chickadees, spotted towhees, American goldfinch, band-tailed pigeon (not small, but cool) recently. Walking in the surrounding neighborhood you will see more too :)

Are ring-necked doves supposed to be in Bellingham ???

Excellent forums for such nature questions are all over the web. Google maps is not where Audubon staff or volunteers are likely to see your nature questions. Visit www.audubon.org.

We have bats in the attic. How can we chase them out without harming them

See www.batsnorthwest.org for details on humane exclusion. Washington State Dept. Of Fish & Wildlife also has specifics on their website. Great question! Bats are an essential part of the ecosystem & we need their help to limit the mosquito population!

I live in the Maple Leaf neighborhood right on the Thornton Creek preserve. I just hung a hummingbird feeder in my backyard. Am I supposed to remove it in Fall/winter? Will this harm the hummers?

Burt Kirson | Aug 10, 2022

We have a feeder in front and one in back. We've been able to provide the hummingbirds w/ juice thru the cold weather by bringing the feeders inside at night; hanging them out again when temperature is just above freezing; and keeping the feeders constantly supplied w/ fresh juice. The resident hummers routinely come by every day.

Is the shop open for bird seed?

Yes we are open! If we ever close on a day we are usually open we will update the google hours. You can always give us a call at (206) 523-4483 for an immediate answer.

Who do I contact about woodpeckers damaging my house?

Talk to Washington State Dept. Of Fish and Wildlife. Their website also has excellent information about living with wildlife & specific information about each species.

Did you see humming birds this year? I usually have several, but don't remember seeing any this summer in Magnolia's neborhood.
