To the Editor:

I would like to add a few words to Mel Damski’s article about the birds in which he quoted me. Your readers need some suggestions of how to further learn about birds.

Educate yourself. Look up abcbirds.org, allaboutbirds.org, birdweb.org to learn about our birds and how you can help. Abcbirds.org will tell you how to make your home windows and your garden safer for birds, as well as teaching you more about the challenges birds face with every migration. The other two websites will give you lots of free and good information about not only our birds here in Washington State, but throughout North America. Go outside, and enjoy what is all around you.
