Marbled Murrelet & Rare Bird Talks

Illustration by Paul Harris Jones from Rare Bird: Pursuing the Mystery of the Marbled Murrelet 

My upcoming presentations feature not only book sales and signing of Rare Bird, but also a virtual experience of a marbled murrelet in the old-growth forest, how and why I wrote Rare Bird despite m ignorance, the life history of this forest-nesting seabird, my very short story of the 185-year-long search to find this bird's nest, some inconvenient truths, exposure of my personal hypocrisy, some hard questions, and some shockingly easy things you can do to help save this imperiled bird.
