The Owl and The Woodpecker: Encounters with North America's Most Iconic
Birds - Paul Bannick

Award-winning photographer Paul Bannick will take you on a visual journey of
11 key North American habitats through the needs of all 41 of North
America's owl and woodpecker species. This stunning photographic study will
be accompanied by field stories, and rich natural history derived from
thousands of hours in the field. His talk will look at the way owls and
woodpeckers define and enrich their habitat and how their life-histories are
intertwined.

Paul Bannick specializes in the natural history of North America, with a
special focus on his beloved Pacific Northwest. Paul has coupled his love of
the outdoors with his skill as a photographer to create images intended to
foster intimacy between the viewer and subject in order to inspire education
and conservation.


WOS Programs are free and open to all. They are held the first Monday of
each month at the Center for Urban Horticulture on the University of
Washington campus, 3501 NE 41st St. in Seattle. Doors open at 7:00 PM and
the program begins at 7:30 PM.

Directions: From I-5, take SR 520 East. Take the Montlake Blvd. NE exit and
turn north towards the University of Washington campus. Stay in right lane
