Birds of Yellowstone subject of Sac Audubon holiday program
For its annual holiday program, Sacajawea Audubon Society will host an evening event featuring a presentation by wildlife filmmaker Bob Landis and wildlife biologist Doug Smith. “Yellowstone Birds: How Behavior Shapes the Environment” will be held Monday, December 16th at the Ellen Theatre.
Yellowstone is one of the world’s most unique places. For birds, there are mutual relationships among species in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. This program will be both entertaining and informative, and will focus primarily on four bird species and how their behavior impacts Yellowstone’s environment: Trumpeter Swan, Clark’s Nutcracker, Raven and Golden Eagle. Recent research on these species’ activity has been intense, and serves as an introduction to an upcoming book to be published by Princeton University Press: Yellowstone Birds – the first published book of its kind in Yellowstone’s history!
Join virtually or at this special holiday event at the Ellen Theatre as Bob Landis narrates his captivating videos on bird behavior and Doug Smith shares research updates and conservation concerns on the birds, wolves, elk, and beavers of Yellowstone National Park.
Doors open at 6pm for a social, with the program to follow at 7pm. This program is free and open to the public. A suggested donation of $5 is appreciated.
