The Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center (SMBC) offers a Bird Friendly certification to encourage farmers to return to the shade-grown practice. As the migratory birds we love are now beginning their journey back to the tropical regions where coffee is cultivated, offer them a habitat in which they can thrive with every sip of your bird friendly coffee.

Summer is ending and we may see a hint of the start of fall migration. The monthly Second Saturday walks are a great opportunity for birders of all skill levels to enjoy the woods and wetlands around the Cleveland Metroparks Rocky River Nature Center. New to birding? You will be amazed how much you can learn in this friendly group. We meet at the Rocky River Nature Center parking lot.
