Birds, Beauty, Art, and Nature — A presentation by Shannon Rio
Thursday, August 24th, 6:30-8:00pm
Ashland Outdoor Store, 37 3rd Street, Ashland, Oregon
This visual and auditory presentation teaches about local birds while exploring how they got their common and Latin names. Why is a Killdeer called a Killdeer and what does its scientific name tell us? Stories, scientific facts, photography, bird sounds, and even poetry — this is a fun opportunity to learn about the birds that live all around us. No birding knowledge necessary, however curiosity and humor are welcome prerequisites for coming to this presentation.
