Monthly Speaker Series
A Year in the Lives of North American Owls
Presented by Paul Bannick
February 16, 2023 9:30 coffee 10am lecture
Paul Bannick is an award-winning author and photographer who captures images to inspire education and conservation. In A Year in the Lives of North American Owls, he will follow North American owls through the course of one year and in their distinct habitats. We will see the nest at each stage in an owl’s life: courtship, mating, and nesting in spring; fledging and feeding of young in summer; dispersal and gaining independence in fall; and, finally, winter’s migrations and competitions for food. For owls, every day brings a new challenge to survive and owls are uniquely equipped to use the resources available to them in their habitat to face those challenges. All 19 species found in Canada and the United States are featured in photos with a special focus on the Northern Pygmy-Owl, Great Gray Owl, Burrowing Owl and Snowy Owl.
Paul is both the author and photographer of several best-selling bird books: Owl: A Year in the Lives of North American Owls, The Owl and The Woodpecker, Encounters with North America’s Most Iconic Birds, Snowy Owl: A Visual Natural History and Great Gray Owl: A Visual Natural History.
Paul serves as the Director of Major Gifts for Conservation Northwest, a Seattle based non-profit dedicated to protecting, connecting, and restoring wildlands and wildlife from the coast of Washington to the Rockies of British Columbia.
