UW Dawgs and the Marbled Murrelet

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).

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.
