SUMMARY:An Evening with Artist Molly Hashimoto
DESCRIPTION:Molly Hashimoto explores parks and wildlife refuges all over the West\, both in urban and wilderness settings\, seeking inspiration for her sketches\, paintings\, and prints. For more than 25 years\, her work has appeared in cards\, books\, and calendars published by Pomegranate Communications. Her subjects include mountain peaks\, forests\, trees\, ferns and wildflowers\, and coastal headlands and estuaries\, but she is particularly known for her depictions of the marvelous birds of every ecosystem\, and mammals and other creatures of all sizes and shapes.\nMolly is dedicated to connecting people to nature through hands-on art experiences and for many months each year can be found teaching aspiring artists of all ages in Seattle. When she is not painting\, making prints\, and teaching in Seattle\, she leads plein air watercolor painting and printmaking workshops at the North Cascades Institute\, Yellowstone Forever Institute\, Wenatchee River Institute\, and Sitka Center for Art and Ecology.\nIn Birds of the West\, award-winning artist Molly Hashimoto captures nearly 100 Western bird species across seven habitats using different media\, from quick ink sketches to vivid block prints. From the diminutive ruby-crowned kinglet to the majestic golden eagle\, Molly’s range of art and detail encourages all of us\, whether artists or not\, to observe our feathered friends more closely.\nPlease join us on February 27 for a slide show presentation and book signing on Birds of the West: An Artist’s Guide with Molly Hashimoto! The program will go from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and will be held at the upper level of Northlake Unitarian Universalist Church located at 308 Fourth Avenue South\, Kirkland. We look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:Program Night: Tracking Tree Kangaroos in Papau New Guinea
DESCRIPTION:Doug Bonham grew up in Washington DC where he began birding in 1966 when there was only one published bird field guide. He later moved to Montana to earn degrees in wildlife biology and electronics at the University of Montana. Doug was also the founding president of the Audubon chapter in Missoula. To this day\, Doug alternates jobs every few years between biology and electronics; he is currently working on motherboards for Surface Pro laptops at Microsoft. He has designed custom GPS tracking devices for wildlife research for a range of species including eagles\, owls\, deer\, elk\, sheep and the subject for the presentation – endangered tree kangaroos in Papua New Guinea. \nFor our November program night\, Doug will describe the unforgettable three weeks he spent at a research camp at 10\,000 feet in a remote corner of Papua New Guinea. The cloud forest at those mountain tops is home to the endangered Matchie’s tree kangaroo. With help from local trackers and hunters they were able to successfully capture eight wild tree kangaroos. The group attached Doug’s custom tracking devices that acquired the first ever GPS tracks plus activity and altitude data from wild Matchie’s tree kangaroos. \nDoug’s trip to Papua New Guinea was funded by National Geographic and the United Nations. The project has arranged an agreement with local villagers whereby if they respect a no-hunting zone for endangered tree kangaroos\, in exchange they get three times normal market price for their coffee. Their coffee is then sold as premium ‘Tree Kangaroo Conservation Coffee’ at high end shops including Cafe Vita in Seattle. \nPlease join us this November to learn about the ongoing conservation project on tree kangaroos in Papua New Guinea! \nThis event is free and open to the public. Program Nights takes place on the fourth Thursday of every month from 7-9 pm unless otherwise indicated. Doors open at 6 pm.

SUMMARY:Grizzly Bear Recovery in Washington State
DESCRIPTION:Apex predators\, such as grizzly bears\, are critical to maintaining a healthy ecosystem. In Washington state\, this species is at a high risk of disappearing from the North Cascades\, where only five grizzlies may remain. Restoring a viable grizzly population would contribute to the biodiversity in the ecosystem to the benefit of human beings and other species. \nThis September program night\, we’re excited to explore the topic of grizzly recovery with Graham Taylor\, Northwest Field Manager with the National Parks Conservation Association (NCPA)\, in Washington state and across the western US. Graham works with the Friends of the North Cascades Grizzly Coalition\, a group dedicated to restoring grizzly bears to North Cascades National Park and the surrounding ecosystem. He will feature Time for the Grizzly\, a popular short film by Chris Morgan that examines how grizzly bear recovery is proceeding in Montana. Graham will discuss the ongoing process here in Washington\, and take questions about how we at Eastside Audubon can get involved. \nThe US Fish and Wildlife Service and National Park Service are currently taking public comment on their plan to bring bears to the North Cascades. Learn how you can support the effort!

SUMMARY:Birding 101: Spring and Summer Birds
DESCRIPTION:Birding can be great fun but frustrating until you become familiar with the local birds and learn the skills that expert birders use. Eastside Audubon will kick-start your abilities by covering their techniques to separate and narrow identifications. Size and shape\, color patterns\, behavior\, habitat\, and sounds all play a key role in helping identify species. The focus will be on common birds likely to be found in Western Washington during the spring and early summer. \nSlides and field trips will allow you to practice these skills. We will spend time on bird songs\, too. We will cover the hardest birds early in the course so there will be lots of time for review. \n\nFlycatchers\, Woodpeckers\, Vireos\, Jays\, Swallows\, Chickadees\, Wrens\nThrushes\, Starlings\, Waxwings\, Finches\, Sparrows\, Warblers\, Blackbirds\nWaterbirds: Ducks\, Coots\, Grebes\, Ducks\, Geese\, Swans\, Cormorants\nGulls\, Terns\, Shorebirds\, Hawks\, Falcons\, Eagles\, Vultures\n\nThe goal is to help you learn 100 species that you might see in Western Washington during a trip to a local park\, wetland\, or natural area. \nThomas Bancroft will offer several walks at local parks. Morning field trips will go to Foster Island-UW Arboretum\, Union Bay-Montlake Fill\, Marymoor Park\, and Stillwater Wildlife Area. One all-day field trip to the Grays Harbor area to look for shorebirds as well as land birds. \nClass Meeting Schedule (Classes will meet from 7 PM to 9 PM)\nTuesday\, April 23 and 30\nTuesday May 14 and 21

SUMMARY:Mason Bees: Native Pollinators Class
DESCRIPTION:Join Eastside Audubon Society for this informative class on mason bees with biologist Olivia Shangrow on Saturday\, February 16. \nBlue orchard mason bees are one of the earliest emerging native bees in the Pacific Northwest and are critical for the pollination of many of our spring blooming native plants and fruit trees. Solitary pollinators such as the mason bee are often overlooked but are extremely important to the health of our ecosystems. Olivia will share information on the lifecycle of these bees and their use in the agricultural industry\, as well as how easy it is to host these gentle bees in your backyard. Her program\, Rent Mason Bees provides everything you need to pollinate your backyard and boost local bee populations. \nOlivia Shangrow is a biology graduate from the University of Washington and is passionate about building awareness of the importance of native bee species to our environment and food systems. Along with running the Rent Mason Bees program\, she teaches local classes on bees and works for the nonprofit organization Orchard Bee Association.
