Many of us take pride in creating welcoming spaces for birds: hanging feeders, planting native vegetation, and adding water features to help wildlife thrive in our desert environment. These are all vital components of a bird-friendly yard, but true stewardship goes beyond providing food and water. With more birds navigating human-altered landscapes, ensuring safe passage has become an essential part of habitat.

Join Olya Weekley, Applied Conservation Program Manager at Tucson Bird Alliance, for an eye-opening look at the hidden hazards birds face: from deadly window collisions and toxic rodenticides to open “death pipes” that silently trap wildlife. Discover how everyday choices can have a lasting impact on local birds and learn simple, effective ways to make your home and community safer for them. Drawing from her hands-on conservation work across southern Arizona, Olya will share practical steps we can all take to protect the birds we love.

The event will begin at 5:00 p.m. with the potluck dinner beginning at about 5:30 p.m. (we'll announce when it's time to eat!). The presentation will immediately follow the meal. Come join us, invite a friend, and bring a dish to share. We also have a collection bin for food items to donate to the Santa Cruz food bank!
