"Unravelling the Mysteries of the Marbled Murrelet"
Martin Raphael, retired senior research biologist with the USFS, has studied Marbled Murrelets for over 20 years; He will present his team's findings and give an update on status and population trends in the Pacific Northwest at the Dec 3 Washington Ornithological Society meeting. Martin's research includes habitat relationships of forest wildlife, ecology of marbled murrelet and American Marten, and investigations into the roles of riparian habitat for terrestrial and aquatic organisms. He recently led an effort to synthesize information on science related to murrelet biology and conservation.
