Winners of the Songbird Coloring Contest
May 24th, 2010 by Allison George
The Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge hosted its 14th annual Migratory Songbird Festival on May 15, 2010 in celebration of International Migratory Bird Day. The festival was a fun day of activities including bird and nature walks, live music, canoe paddles on the Tualatin River, bird house-building, a live bird show by the Portland Audubon Society, and last – but certainly not least – an appearance by Blue Goose, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service mascot.
Laura and I would like to extend a big THANKS to all of the young artists who stopped by the WCVA table to enter our coloring contest during the festival. We received 37 colorful masterpieces, each as unique and creative as the other, making it quite a challenge for our staff to judge! The prize for each of these winners was a lovely set of *washable markers (*parents, we’ve got your back).
