Special Birds of Mount Rainier By Jeff Antonelis-Lapp

To most residents of the region, Mount Rainier holds opportunities for camping, hiking, climbing and other outdoor pursuits. But what about its wildlife? Did you know that Mount Rainier National Park hosts three bird species protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act? Jeff Antonelis-Lapp will share fascinating stories and discuss the current status of the Northern Spotted Owl, Marbled Murrelet, and Streaked Horned Lark. This is his third presentation to Kitsap Audubon.

After graduating from Huxley College/Western Washington University in 1978, Jeff Antonelis-Lapp worked two summers at Mount Rainier National Park, igniting a connection to the mountain that endures today. He has summited the mountain, hiked all of its mapped trails, and completed the 93-mile Wonderland Trail five times.

Jeff began writing Tahoma and Its People after being unable to find a current natural history for a course he planned to teach at Evergreen State College in Olympia. He conducted over 250 days of fieldwork for the book, many of them in the company of park archaeologists, biologists, and geologists. While at Evergreen, he taught Native American Studies, natural history, environmental education, and served as the Library Dean before retiring in 2015.
