July Birdwise premieres Sunday July 1

Fish hawks and bird mating habits fill the Birdwise program in July. Thurston County’s only locally-produced monthly program on birding features the Osprey as July’s bird of the month. The 30-minute program airs Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. and Sundays at 1 p.m. Other segments in the July show provide an explanation of the mating practices of birds, tips on bird baths and a tour of Tolmie State Park . As always, Birdwise offers birding news, a calendar of events and an avian forecast of what to look for in the month of July. Birdwise is independently produced with technical assistance from TCTV, and with subject matter expertise provided by the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge and the Black Hills Audubon Society.
