Bye Bye Birdie



Bird TLC Presents: Bye Bye Birdie 2009
Who’s Overhead?

If you are dying to see all of Bird TLC’s live education birds in one place at one time, this is your chance.
If you have a really good bird call, come down and try your luck in the bird calling contest.
If you have been wondering when you will get to see Bird TLC release an eagle back into the wild, this is it.

The 5th annual Bye Bye Birdie event will be held at the Bird TLC property (15500 Old Seward Highway) on August 22nd, 2009 from 12-4pm. This event celebrates the end of migratory bird season, raises awareness about the wild birds in our community and the good work of Bird TLC. The afternoon will be filled with kid’s activities, live education birds on display, as well as multi bird formal education programs, a bird calling contest and will end with a rehabilitated eagle release. First place winner of the bird call contest receives the opportunity to release the eagle. This event is free and open to the public and will take place rain or shine. Come on out and learn about our local avian diversity, have a gourmet hotdog provided by Tia’s Gourmet Alaska Sausages and Hot Dogs, sip a free caffeinated beverage from Kaladi Bros., all while enjoying the view of Potter Marsh and Turnagain Arm.

Thank you to our generous event sponsors; US Fish and Wildlife Service, Fred Meyer, and Conoco Phillips. Partners that help to make this event possible are the AK Department of Fish and Game and The Alaska Zoo.
