Plans are Underway to Celebrate Urban Birds

Materials have been ordered, the Avimor staff is meeting to finalize plans for the event, the band is on the schedule, plant donations have been arranged, and we are really excited for this event!

We even came up with a theme song called "Out on the Bird Walk" to the Drifters' tune of "Under the Boardwalk". Click on the link to see the YouTube Karaoke version of the original song, and then just sing the new lyrics really loud!

(Oh) When the sun comes up
And all the birds begin to sing
You get binoculars
Field guide in hand
You know I just love Spring

Out on the birdwalk
What will we see? (yeah)
Spotting birdies is my hobby
That's where I'll be.

(Out on the birdwalk) We'll see Waxwing
(Out on the birdwalk) We'll see Starling
(Out on the birdwalk) There's a Warbler above
(Out on the birdwalk) I hear Mourning Dove
Out on the birdwalk (birdwalk!)

From the park you hear
the piercing call of a Killdeer
Mm-mm, you can really hear
the Cowbirds and Sparrows so clear

Out on the birdwalk
down by the creek (yeah)
Watching Orioles feeding babies
That's where I'll be.

(Out on the birdwalk) We'll see a Crow
(Out on the birdwalk) We'll see Swallow
(Out on the birdwalk) I hear a House Finch
(Out on the birdwalk) a Heron in a pinch
Out on the birdwalk (birdwalk!)

[instrumental break]

(Oooooh) Out on the birdwalk
What we will see? (yeah)
Spotting birdies is my hobby
That's where I'll be.

(Out on the birdwalk) Mallards we'll see
(Out on the birdwalk) A Falcon possibly
(Out on the birdwalk) Pigeons all around
(Out on the birdwalk) Robins on the ground
Out on the birdwalk (birdwalk!)
