UW Dawgs and the Marbled Murrelet

The Marbled Murrelet really wants to be a team player.                  Dawgbird image by MMRuth.

Please join me at the University of Washington's Anderson Hall on Tuesday April 1 at 3:30 for my presentation, "The Trouble with Murrelets: Discovering and Recovering a Rare Bird." I will be talking about this fascinating seabird, the 185-year-long search to find its nesting site, and the impact of the nest discovery on the forests of the Pacific Northwest and on murrelet conservation.

This free event is sponsored by UW's School of Environmental and Forest Sciences and is open the students, faculty, and the public. There is a reception after where I'll be selling and signing copies of my book, Rare Bird: Pursuing the Mystery of the Marbled Murrelet (Mountaineers Books, 2013).
