Marbled Murrelets in Portland!

June 2, 2014 Maria Mudd Ruth
No take-out. Delivery only. A young murrelet is nest bound and relies on its parents to catch and delivery its meals: small fish the chick will swallow whole and headfirst. Pen-and-ink drawing by Paul Jones.

Join me this Thursday night at 7 p.m. in Portland, Oregon, for a presentation I'll be giving with conservation dynamo Paul Engelmeyer, manager of Portland Audubon's Ten-Mile Creek Sanctuary. Our talk will focus on the discovery and recovery of the marbled murrelet, a federally threatened seabird that nests in the mature coastal forests of the Pacific Northwest.

The story of this enigmatic little bird whose nest was first discovered 40 years ago this year will delight you. The work being done to protect this species and its forest and marine habitats will inspire you.

The presentation is free. Copies of Rare Bird will be available for purchase. For more information click here.

The photo for my blog captures the spirit of the accidental naturalist (my husband, actually). The body of water featured here, Willapa Bay, completely drained out at low tide during our camping trip at the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge, leaving us a pleasant several hours of experiencing the life of the turning tide.
