Everyone welcome at North Cascades Audubon Society monthly meeting held at
Whatcom Museum OCT 28.. Tuesday at 7 PM to 9 PM

General Membership Meeting with Craig and Joy Johnson
Presenting Their Film: ?Birds, Backyard Habitat and Beyond?

Puget Sound area watercolor artist and photographer, Craig Johnson with his
wife and writer Joy Johnson, have created a remarkable DVD that beautifully
illustrates what can happen when native habitat is allowed to flourish,
even in as small a space as a suburban backyard. The Johnsons illustrate
the delights possible by recording the birds and other creatures that visit
their backyard. This remarkable film provides a window to behaviors never
before recorded. Watch and wonder as this panoply of creatures forage for
food, raise young, maintain their plumage, battle for territory and much
more. Using Craig?s animations, graphics and photographs the Johnsons offer
some simple suggestions to increase the variety of birds visiting your yard.

Craig and Joy Johnson have created and published four books containing
colorful, close-up photographs of birds (most found in the Puget Sound
area). Their latest photo book is titled, Our Pacific Northwest Birds &
Habitat. They have also published two children?s books which Craig
illustrated in watercolor, most recently Harry the Woodpecker?s Search for
a Home, released in December 2013.

Since becoming disabled by a neurological disorder, Craig has traded a
larger camera for a pocket-sized video camera that he uses primarily while
on a mobility scooter in their yard. Together the Johnsons study
ornithology and have spent many years observing and photographing birds.
They use Craig?s photos, videos, animations and graphics to share their
passion for birds and hope to inspire others to protect birds and wildlife
habitat.
