SUMMARY:Puget Sound Bird Fest
DESCRIPTION:Celebrated Local Author and Naturalist to Kick off Puget Sound Bird Fest17th annual Keynote presentation offers a rare look at a rare bird \n(Edmonds – WA) Award-winning author Maria Mudd Ruth has been selected as the 2021 Keynote presenter for\nthe 17 th annual Puget Sound Bird Fest taking place September 11-12\, 2021. Maria will kick off the festivities on\nSaturday morning at 10:00am with her presentation ‘The Not-so Awkward Auks’. Other presentations and\nactivities will follow throughout the weekend. \nThe Salish Sea is home to a fascinating family of diving seabirds known as auks\, or alcids. Though often\ndescribed as “awkward” or “clumsy” in field guides\, these web-footed birds are amazingly well adapted to life in\nthe air\, on land\, and especially at sea. Maria will talk about two of her favorite auks—the shy\, cryptic\, secretive\,\ntree-nesting Marbled Murrelet and its clownish\, extroverted\, burrow-nesting cousin\, the Pigeon Guillemot. \n“Auks are an exciting family of birds and there are a surprising number of them\, including puffins\, that can be\nfound in the Salish Sea” said Jennifer Leach\, coordinator of the annual event. \nMaria is the author of more than a dozen books on natural history topics for children and adults\, including Rare\nBird: Pursuing the Mystery of the Marbled Murrelet\, a narrative natural history of an endearing and endangered\nseabird. Her most recent book of non-fiction\, A Sideways Look at Cloud\, was awarded the Nautilus Silver Medal\nin 2017. \nOther weekend activities include presentations throughout the day on Saturday\, and traditional favorites such\nas the Kid’s Corner and the People’s Choice Photography Contest – be sure to vote for your favorite! Guided\ntours of local birding hotspots will be offered throughout the weekend by the Pilchuck Audubon Society\, which\nalso plans to host a native plant sale. \nThe Bird Fest Planning Committee is hard at work planning the 2021 event and will continue to update the Bird\nFest website as the festival schedule develops. Please note that due to uncertainties associated with the COVID-\n19 pandemic\, indoor activities such as presentations and workshops may be delivered online\, while field\nactivities will be offered in person with limited group sizes. \nAuks of Puget Sound is the theme of this year’s Poster Art Contest\, and artists are reminded to submit entries of\noriginal artwork through June 25. \nFor the latest information\, please visit http://www.pugetsoundbirdfest.com/ or email\nJennifer.leach@edmondswa.gov.
