We invite you to join the mass migration of Pacific shorebirds, raptors, waterfowl and songbirds.  Their shoreside respite is framed against the pristine backdrop of coastal glaciers and mountains, the breathtaking vista that we call home.  Come armed with your binoculars, spotting scopes, cameras, sketch books and pencils and leave with a heart full of memories.

This workshop requires pre-registration and an additional fee. More information and registration here: https://www.rsvpbook.com/event.php?538878

Visiting artist Zack Mclaughlin of Paper & Wood will teach many techniques in working with paper to create lifelike feathers and ultimately a paper bird of your own.  Enjoy a full day in the fine company of this wonderful bird artist. Five and a half hours won't be long enough to complete your paper bird, but you will learn all you need to be able to finish off the last bits on your own and then go on to make many more.  Snacks, refreshments, and a light lunch will be provided.
