Birds seen on campus
Our efforts to create micro-habitats on site have helped attract birds. Examples of observations: A white-throated sparrow finds seeds and insects on our rooftop on its trip south in the fall, a cardinal finds seeds in the peace garden all winter, a peregrine falcon hunts for pigeons to feed its young, a thrush finds shelter in a hedge during a storm and a mallard duck nests 5 times on the College gym roof.
Another thank you must go to the over 1500 volunteers over 8 years and the Facilities team that have helped create a landscape that is defining our values at Dawson. It is most significant when an educational institution is successful in having wildlife return to its urban setting. It is an evaluation of sorts as we define one of our core institutional values:
