As any observer of nature will tell you, Gig Harbor hosts a
wide variety of amazing birds—from ducks to birds of prey. From
the vantage point of this sign, which is located at the Finholm
Marketplace viewing platform, many of the species illustrated
on this sign can be seen---particularly in the winter season when
migrating waterfowl seek a place to rest on their way south. Birds
are an important indicator of what is going on in our environment.
Zoom in and learn more about the birds that visit our waters.
We encourage you to call or join your local
Audubon chapter to learn more about birds.
"Harboring
Birds is Our Gig” interpretive sign was installed
in November, 2007 and can be visited at the Finholm Marketplace
viewing platform on North Harborview Drive near Anthony’s restaurant. |
