Slides & Tales Of Birding In The Okanogan Valley

Lillinonah Audubon Society will present renowned photographer and travel guide Sam Fried, who will captivate with his slides and tales of birding in the Okanogan Valley of Washington State during a free program in at C.H. Booth Library, 25 Main Street, on Thursday, September 28.

Perhaps the most bird-rich area in the Pacific Northwest, the Okanogan Valley of northcentral Washington is scenically spectacular as well. With habitats varying from desert valleys near the Columbia River ranging up to Ponderosa Pine forests at 8,000 feet in the Cascade Mountains, more than 200 species of birds breed here among snow-capped peaks, mountain meadows, sage bush covered hillsides, and lowland riparian zones along the Okanogan River.

Gathering and light refreshments will begin at 7:30 pm, and the program will begin at 7:45. Attendees should use the parking lot (instead of parking on the street) and plan to enter the building from the lot doors as the Main Street door will be locked by the time the program begins.

Call Judith Stevens, 264-7807, for additional information.
