Birds On or Near NSCC Campus

This web page was created as a project for a course, Jean Kent's CIS111 , which I attended at North Seattle Community College .

I have two purposes in creating this web page:

• To increase awareness of the birds around us
• To increase enjoyment of these birds

The killdeer is a bird commonly seen on campus, both in flight and on the ground. The name killdeer is supposed to describe the bird's vocalization. The killdeer has some peculiar habits. To read about them, click here , you will be transported to www.birdwatching.com.

Click the picture to hear the bird say it's name.

The cedar waxwing is a colorful bird that can be difficult to see elsewhere, but easy to see on campus!

During the months of June through September you will find them in the red maples around the IB building at the north end of campus. The best way to view them is from the third floor (north end of 4th Ave),looking down into the tree leaves, with binoculars.
