Calling all bird lovers! \;Join us and the North Cascades Institute as we present another installment to the Spring Nature of Writing Series!

The Bird with Flaming Red Feet \;is a lively and heartfelt natural history of the Pigeon Guillemot\, a charismatic seabird with a surprising story to tell. Found along the coast around the North Pacific and from Alaska to Southern California\, this talkative and often-overlooked bird plays an outsized role in the health of marine ecosystem--earning its status as an "\;indicator species\,"\; especially for Washington&rsquo\;s Puget Sound.
