PUD auditorium on Sandridge.
The only Months we do not meet are December and January.
on March 8th, 2010 at 7 p.m. SPEAKER: Jen Zamon,
a local fisheries biologist from NOAA of Pt.
Adams Research Station, Hammond, OR
Presenting “SEABIRDS, SEALS, and
SALMON:
Marine Predators as Fisheries Oceanographers”
Like all fishermen, animals that make a living from the sea must be successful at predicting when and where fish become available. Jen will discuss how the feeding behavior of marine predators provides insight about habitats and processes important to fish and humans. Her presentation will include linkages among tides, topography, and fish distribution, as well as tips for observing the behavior of easily seen local predators like birds and mammals.
The meeting is at PUD auditorium
on Sandridge Road,
just North of Pioneer Road. See you there!

Share Your Ideas for IMBD Themes Each year, the International Migratory Bird Day theme provides organizers with new information about issues related to bird conservation. Please take a moment to share your thoughts about the proposed theme for 2011 and your ideas for future themes by completing a 3-question survey. An IMBD theme must be conservation-based, current, positive, tangible, educational, and engaging. It must also be usable by IMBD organizers in diverse organizations throughout the Western Hemisphere. Your input is appreciated!
