Audubon Presentation on Saltmarsh Sparrows Conservation
Posted: Mon Feb 09, 2026 2:39 pm
The North Central Washington Audubon Society will host a presentation on Saltmarsh and Nelson’s Sparrow conservation on Thursday, Mar. 5, from 4:30-6 p.m. at the Winthrop Library. Logan Maxwell will take us on a virtual trip of the saltmarshes of the Eastern Seaboard where we will learn about what makes these little sparrows so unique and the threats they face due to shoreline development and sea-level rise. This talk is for anyone interested in learning about the role of natural hybrid zones in conservation, a day in the life of a field scientist, or a close encounter with a cryptic bird species you’ve likely never seen. This event is free and no registration is required.
