For over 10 years, Shirley and Ken have been integrating her academic background in biology and Ken’s graphics skills into their “inside story” presentation. They have evolved this talk into a fact-filled, enjoyable program that conveys the unique physical features of birds. The program is well-suited to folks new to birding and to our region—as well as for those who wish to hone their bird knowledge and skills.
In this session, Shirley and Ken will discuss information on wild bird identification, biology, feeding, and nesting—as well as how and where birds use the habitats of the Olympic Peninsula. They will reveal how birds eat, digest, see, breathe, sing, reproduce, and fly. Participants will learn from a collection of bird skeletons, feathers, and feet along with new graphic illustrations and locally recorded sounds.
Admission to each seminar will be free. However, we suggest a donation of $5.00 per person to support our ongoing education programs. Please note that current COVID-19 safety precautions as recommended by Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe and Clallam County Public Health will be followed for the protection of our attendees and volunteer staff.
