Join Owl researcher Jamie Acker as he presents two programs, one about the installation of the new Motus Wildlife Tracking Station on the U.S. Coast Guard communications tower at Point No Point County Park in Hansville and the other about his efforts to band and track the changing populations and seasonal movements of Barred Owls and Saw-Whet Owls.

Join author and longtime volunteer surveyor, Maria Muth Ruth as she weaves together science, field observations, and community storytelling to paint a vivid portrait of the Pigeon Guillemot and the ecosystems, both natural and human, surrounding it.

Listen to noted Audubon author and photographer Tom Bankroft as he returns to the Kitsap Audubon Society to talk about birds and wildlife on the Katmai Peninsula, which lies west of Anchorage, Alaska, across Cook Inlet.

Purple Martins were once gravely threatened by such invasive species as House Sparrows and European Starlings which compete aggressively for natural nest cavities. But Purple Martins have rebounded because of their human friends who provide them with lovingly tended artificial colonies. Robert Pavey will talk about identifying them, their migration, nesting and breeding behavior, on-going conservation programs and how you can help.

Watch as DarkSky International member John Goar and Kitsap Audubon Society Vice President Kevin Eyer team up to share more about these two programs and ways you can help protect migratory birds during these critical times of the year. Much of migration is unnoticed by the casual observer as most birds migrate at night and are hundreds to thousands of feet up in the air.
