First, we will brief our membership on the Pigeon Guillemot breeding survey presented by Ed Bowlby of the Clallam Marine Resources Committee. Ed has been observing Pigeon Guillemot (PIGU) activity for five years at Port Williams. In 2016 OPAS joined the project. The PIGU project that started on Whidbey Island is spreading throughout the Salish Sea and OPAS members are encouraged to participate.

“OPAS Members Photo Night 2020” 

Organized by Christina Heliker

It’s time to choose your best bird photos to show our appreciative audience. This year, please submit your photos to Christina Heliker, who will be our technical advisor and assist us projecting the images. Christina will email guidelines to those who have submitted images in the last couple years. If you haven’t shown your images in the past, please contact Christina so you can get the information you’ll need, at cheliker@olypen.com.  

This is NOT a contest. Photos will not be judged or critiqued. We ask that you submit no more than 8 photos each, to allow as many members as possible to participate. This year we’re also allowing bird photos from anywhere in the world. Be prepared to say a few words about your photos, identifying the bird, location, and time of year.

Even if you don’t wish to submit photos, be sure to come and enjoy the show!
