Leaders with the Downtown Camas Association are looking to introduce a Hidden Bronze Bird Tour to the area, and they are seeking the community’s help to fund it.
Plans for the tour include placing a bronze bird on each of block on Fourth and Fifth avenues, encouraging people to stroll through and explore downtown.
The birds, a total of 12, will be different types and sizes. They will include a woodpecker, a dove, wrens, nuthatches, ducks, chickens, chicks, a stellar jay, a crow, and an owl.
The sculptures will be made by Whidbey Island based artist Georgia Gerber. She created a bronze springer spaniel that was unveiled in April 2015 in the courtyard in front of the Liberty Theatre. Through a public voting process, it was named Millie.
To purchase the bronze birds, a total of $15,000 needs to be raised. A GoFundMe account has been created to support the project. More than $2,000 has been contributed so far.
