Josh Engel and Amanda Ziegler were among the volunteers recruited by bird-watcher Tamima Itani for a spring cleanup earlier this week. She was eager to have debris removed from the banks of the North Shore Channel to prepare the bird habitat along the North Shore Channel for the spring bird migration.

One volunteer said the area, which was near Howard street, looked as though it had served as a party site during the winter months – there were “tons of alcohol bottles and all kinds of fast-food containers.”
