This book is a fundraiser for two non-profits: LittleBIGFest, and Whidbey Audubon Society. The book takes a look at 40 Grateful Dead songs, and pairs them with 40 Washington State birds, plus an encore bird, and encore song. We carve the connection between birders and deadheads. The book is filled with fun facts, unusual facts, and interesting facts about the bird and or the song that it is paired up with.

Whidbey Audubon Society is dedicated to the understanding, appreciation, and protection of birds and other wildlife species and their habitats on Whidbey Island and surrounding waters.
Visitors are welcome at our events!

Since Deer Lagoon Preserve was purchased in 2004, increased pressure from public use has resulted in critical sensitive habitat degradation. The existing passive management plan no longer protects the lagoon.

Visit our constantly updated page of interesting, unusual, or rare sightings of birds on Whidbey Island and surrounding waters.
