Wednesday evening, November 2nd is your opportunity to hear from local photographer Lois Miller and Kalmiopsis Audubon Society's Ann Vileisis as they introduce us to the birds that inhabit or use the area around Redfish Rocks. Ann and Lois will show us big screen pictures and share insights about local shore birds that can be difficult to see close up.
After Lois and Ann, Paul Engelmeyer from Audubon Society's Ten Mile Creek Sanctuary will help us learn about what IBAs are and how they play into the sea bird conservation efforts from Alaska to Baja California. Paul will give us the bigger picture highlighting the central coast Marbled Murelet IBA and how it plays into the Cape Perpetua marine reserve and Oregon’s network of marine reserves and protected areas.
Come enjoy the discussions, photography and tasty local seafood samples from Port Orford Sustainable Seafood!
This event is a collaborative effort of the Redfish Rocks Marine Research Reserve Community Team, Kalmiopsis Audubon Society, Our Ocean and the Port Orford Ocean Resource Team (POORT).
