On a cool, partly sunny day in September, over 60 volunteers gathered on private land adjacent to the Little Spokane River to plant 351 native shrubs and trees on approximately 3 acres of land, install deer exclusion fencing, and Feather Friendly window strike deterrents to vulnerable windows.

One of Spokane Audubon Society chapter founding members Jan Reynolds passed away September 27 at the age of 84. At the time of this writing, no memorial services were planned.  We remember Jan -- the educator, naturalist and artist who designed our Pygmy Owl logo – with the following member profile of her and her husband and fellow chapter founder Ed that ran in the December 2019 Pygmy Owl newsletter edition.

Please consider our flying friends when you decorate for the holidays you love.

It was a perfect day in late July for a couple of self-proclaimed naturalists to be out in the field.
