Emperor Penguins ?Thirty Years of Studying Penguins?

As our climate turns to summer and warmer weather, the
penguins of the southern hemisphere are entering their fall
and winter season. These are fascinating birds that
generate ?Oohs? and ?Ahhs? from bird watchers everywhere.
Please join Rainier Audubon as we wrap up another terrific
season with this special program about Penguins as presented
by professor Dee Boersma.

Dee Boersma has been studying penguins for 30 years, since
her days as an undergraduate. She is now a professor of
Zoology at the University of Washington and she spends a
great deal of her time traveling to areas such as Argentina
and the Galapagos Islands to study penguins. She will
present a slide show with an accompanying discussion about
penguins in general as well as some of her research.
This promises to be a terrific program. Mark your calendars
and come prepared with all those penguin questions you have
but were afraid to ask. Everyone is welcome!!

Membership meetings are open to the general public.
