October 15th: Beautiful Birds, Beautiful Words
Klamath Bird Observatory Board Member Shannon Rio combines bird photography with poetry, myth, and lore in this presentation that celebrates nature, literature, and our connection to words.

November 4th, 11th, and 18th: Hawks!
Dick Ashford, former Klamath Bird Observatory President and KBO Honorary Board Member, gives this three-part Powerpoint presentation on hawks – those fascinating creatures that capture our imaginations as few other bird groups do. Easily seen (but tough to identify), hawks push our primal poetic buttons. This popular course will examine the natural history of diurnal raptors – what makes a hawk a hawk, anyhow? We will also investigate hawks’ relationship with humans throughout history. This is NOT an ID class but, at the end of this course, you are guaranteed to be a dedicated hawk enthusiast!
Details: This three-part series is held on the Tuesdays of November 4th, 11th, and 18th from 7:00-8:30pm; Ages 11-Adult; event at North Mountain Park Nature Center; and cost is $25 for the series. Pre-register online at www.ashland.or.us/register or call the Nature Center at 541-488-6606.
