It's Official, Yorba Linda is a Bird Sanctuary!

It's official! Yorba Linda is a Bird Sanctuary!

Today was the Yorba Linda Woman's Club (YLWC) 1st city sign dedication with City Mayor Tom Lindsey and YLWC President, Marcia Willett. For you Yorbalindans, it's located at the south side of Y.L. Blvd, just east of Jefferson Ave. It is the first sign with others to come. Historically, the YLWC was instrumental in claiming YL as a bird sanctuary to help deter a large airport from being built in our Chino and YL Hills, thereby keeping our peaceful, country-like environment and wild birds galore.   —                     in Yorba Linda

    i saw this sign on imperial hwy today and wondered if it had anything to do with the hawk that was killed on the hwy. i refuse to believe it died from natural causes.

    This is very sad news about the dead hawk.

    The bird sanctuary signs were placed in the city to signify that Yorba Linda is a bird sanctuary city.

    I'm glad Yorba Linda is now a bird sanctuary. I live in a condo with a small patio...but I love birds. I have a house wren nesting in a wren house, hooded orioles and hummingbirds on the nectar feeder and finches and robins on the bird seed feeder. Just helping out!

    Hi Christina -

    That is great! You are a testimony that you do not have to have a spacious backyard to enjoy a wide variety of birds.

    Continued Happy Birding!
    Olivia
