Bob Steelquist

Bob Steelquist has been a resident of Blyn for nearly 50 years, arriving in 1977 to work for Olympic National Park as a trail crew leader. In the meantime, he devoted his education (BA, MES, Evergreen), career (ONP, WDFW, NOAA, and others), and volunteer board service to education and communicating natural history and environmental conservation. Along the way, he has authored 13 books and has presented countless public presentations on a wide range of environment and history subjects.

Over the last six years, he's embarked on a project to photograph Sandhill Cranes of the Pacific Flyway in every season and in locations as distant as the San Joaquin Valley and the Kenai Peninsula, as well as most places in between. “Congruence: With Cranes of the Pacific Flyway” illuminates West Coast cranes' lives and migrations and reflects on crane/human connections, past, present and future. Bob is a proud OPAS member, trip co-leader and photography instructor for BirdFest. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain fascinating insights into these enigmatic, primeval-looking birds. Join us as we explore the congruence between cranes and their environment!
