> The ecosystems of the world are linked by birds, and nowhere is that
> more apparent than the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, where more
> than 190 species converge from six continents and all fifty states to
> nest and rear their young in a landscape fairly bursting with its
> seasonal visitors.
> ?
> In Arctic Wings (Mountaineers Books, 2006), this convergence of
> waterfowl, raptors, shorebirds, gulls and terns, owls and songbirds is
> explored through images by award-winning photographers and notable
> biologists and conservationists.
> ?
> On Wednesday, April 11, The Mountaineers presents a free lecture by
> Stephen Brown, Ph. D., editor of Arctic Wings and the Director of the
> Shorebird Conservation Research Program for the Manomet Center for
> Conservation Sciences. Brown will discuss the research on shorebird
> habitat conducted by the Manomet Center, and will touch upon policy
> issues that affect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Far from being
> scientific in nature and tone, this presentation is aimed at the
> layman, and includes many images of the birds of the Refuge and
> stories of Brown?s adventures while carrying out his research. Also
> making a brief appearance will be Redmond, WA?based Martyn Stewart,
> nature sound recordist of Arctic Refuge bird songs.?
> ?
> This free presentation takes place in Room 130 of the University of
> Washington?s Kane Hall at 7 p.m. Copies of Arctic Wings and Stewart?s
> book/CD set, Birdsongs of the Pacific Northwest ?will be available for
> purchase at the lecture. Brown and Stewart will autograph books after
> the presentation.
