Wildlife Surveys Performed by ELWAS Birds in the Balance Committee
The Birds in the Balance committee under the direction of Len Steiner has been conducting wildlife surveys, primarily birds, for a number of years. I expect most of the ELWAS members are not aware of the extent of this effort. These surveys are usually done once a month for one year. A letter is sent to the applicable agency, e.g., King County Parks, Washington State Park, Bellevue Parks, Redmond Parks, etc. If applicable, these letters include comments about what could be done to enhance or protect the habitat. The results of these surveys are available to anyone by emailing Hugh Jennings at: hughbirder@earthlink.net. The results from one of the surveys is attached. A list of the vegetation in the area is also available for most of the surveys.
