MEETINGS and PRESENTATIONS

Upcoming Meetings and Presentations (all on Tuesdays at 3 p.m. in the Quinault Auditorium unless otherwise noted):

Tuesday, June 9, 1:30 p.m. Quinault Auditorium: Green Team Program in collaboration with the Panorama Library Association: Author talk: The Bird with the Flaming Red Feet, with Maria Ruth. Note the earlier time: this is the Library Association’s regular time.
Whether you’re a birder or not, you’ll be charmed by a lively and charismatic Pigeon Guillemot. These Pacific coast seabirds are common, easy to spot, and fun to watch close-up from shore, though they are often overlooked by birders seeking more elusive and rarer “Life List” birds (such as their more famous cousins, the puffins). Pigeon Guillemots have fascinating stories to tell about being a seabird and about the workings of our shared environment. Since 2013, local naturalist and author Maria Ruth has been watching and listening to the guillemots nesting on Puget Sound near Olympia as a volunteer community scientist with the Salish Sea Guillemot Network. Join us for Maria’s fun, informative presentation on her latest book and what she’s learned about the guillemots, about “one- bird birding,” and the intrepid community of “guillemoteers” devoted to this marvelous seabird! Maria’s recent books, including The Bird with the Flaming Red Feet, will be available for sale.

There are no general meetings or presentations in July or August.

Tuesday, June 23, 9:30 a.m.: Trip to Bergford Family Farm & Gardens

We’re invited to return to tour this very popular, beautifully landscaped five-acre farm and garden paradise, full of exotic plants, fruit trees, farm animals, and more – a delight for the senses, and inspirational for artists and photographers. Bring your picnic lunch and $10 admission fee. The bus will depart Pan Hall at 9:30am and return by 2:00pm. Bus fee is $5. Sign up by sending an email to PanoramaGreenTeam@gmail.com with Bergford in the subject line. Since there may be more signups than seats available on the bus, we may supplement the bus with carpooling. Read about an earlier trip and see more photos.
