Snowy Owls – An Evening with Paul Bannick
As part of our annual La Conner Birding Showcase speaker series, please join the La Conner Chamber of Commerce as we welcome award-winning author and photographer Paul Bannick. His Zoom presentation will feature never-before-published photographs and narratives from his newly published book, Snowy Owl: A Visual Natural History.
Snowy owls capture our imagination and fascinate us with their beauty, yet they remain one of the least understood owls in the world. Here, award-winning author and photographer, Paul Bannick delves into the natural history of these owls, providing a comprehensive yet accessible look at where and how they live, including their preferred habitat and seasonal migrations, hunting and breeding behavior, and how they nest and raise their young. The program will combine breathtaking images, science, first-hand accounts, video and sound in an effort to inspire conservation and education, and help people understand the threats to these species and what we can do to protect them.
“Having worked with wildlife photographers for articles in Audubon, Smithsonian, Sierra, National Wildlife and other magazines for 45 years, I have yet to encounter one who better captures the magic and beauty of the natural world,” says Ted Williams, former Editor of Audubon Magazine and award-winning journalist.
You can order your copies of his two new books including “Snowy Owl: A Visual Natural History” and “Great Gray Owl: A Visual Natural History” or his previous books, “The Owl and the Woodpecker: Encounters with North America’s Most Iconic Birds” and “Owl: A Year in the Lives of North American Owls” HERE.
Please register – this event is limited to 100 attendees.
