BHAS was asked by the Thurston County Historical Society to write an article tracing changes in the region’s bird population over time. I got the assignment and wrote a piece on this topic. It can be found here Thurston County Journal Archives (lacey.wa.us) if any of you are interested in seeing it. It focuses on how human intervention has affected the numbers of six local bird species, and talks about the likely effect of climate change on our birds.
