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.  

Here is the rundown of November's presentations in Greater Puget Sound:

November 8 at 7 p.m. at Orca Books, Olympia

November 12 at 7 p.m. at the Cotton Building, Port Townsend

November 14 at the Mountaineers Seattle Program Center, Seattle

November 17 at 4 p.m. at Village Books, Bellingham (Fairhaven)

November 22 at 5:30 p.m. at Trimble Hall, University of Puget Sound, Tacoma

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.
