Friends of Cortes Island (FOCI) is taking inspiration from a British tradition called “Dawn Chorus.”
The early morning event, “Birdsong and Breakfast Pie,” is a multisensory experience offering attendants the chance to listen for birds on the farm with ornithologist Corry Dow.
“Dawn Chorus” refers to the sound of collective birdsong in the early morning during spring. There is an International Dawn Chorus Day on the first Sunday of May every year. The tradition began in Birmingham in the 1980s and is recognized in over 80 countries.
The local nature walk will be followed by brunch at the Linnaea Kitchen, and a visit to the Cortes Wild Exhibit in the same building. The exhibit features bird specimens that may have been heard during the walk. The event is part of the Wildlife Coexistence program series that FOCI is offering at Linnaea Farm.
