Free bird posters at DFW

Posted on Jul 11 2008

The Division of Fish and Wildlife is once again making available two popular posters with the birds of the CNMI and Guam. The two available posters are “Forest and Land Birds of the CNMI and Guam” and “Seabirds of the CNMI and Guam.”

The CNMI has 14 native birds, 10 of which are endemic meaning they only occur in the Mariana Islands and nowhere else in the world. Five of the endemic species are considered endangered of extinction.

Bird watching or “birding” (as it is known throughout the international community) is a great family activity in the summer while children are out of school. The posters can assist with bird identification by sight. Once birds are known by sight they can be observed to learn each of their individual songs. Birding is best done in the mornings before 10 am and in the evenings after 4:30 when it its cooler as birds are more active at these times.

The two bird posters are available at the Division of Fish and Wildlife Lower base office. [B][I](DFW)[/I][/B]
