Photographer Paul Bannick

The Owl and the Woodpecker:

Encounters with North America's Most Iconic Birds



Award-winning photographer Paul Bannick will take us on a photographic
journey of habitats key to the survival of North American owls and
woodpeckers - with a special emphasis on the Pacific Northwest. This
stunning photographic study will be accompanied by field stories and rich
natural history derived from thousands of hours in the field.



Paul couples 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. His work has appeared in
several books and magazines, at the Woodland Park Zoo, and on interpretive
signs in Southern California, Mt. St. Helens, Bridle Trails State Park, and
in the North Cascades. Paul is a significant photo contributor to
Conservation Northwest, Seattle Audubon, and the North Cascades Institute.



Rainier is delighted to have Paul back again for another wonderful
presentation of his work.



Refreshments are available before and after the program.
