Jim Danzenbaker - When you locate shorebirds, do you feel the need to run away because you can’t identify them? Do you watch them for a while and realize that you’ll never know what they are? This presentation will help demystify some of the identification challenges associated with shorebirds. We’ll look at bill shape, plumage, behavior, and habitat and incorporate some eBird data to help increase our knowledge of shorebirds. We’ll concentrate on shorebirds found in Clark and neighboring counties but may include a few from other spots in Washington. Jim has given shorebird identification workshops and led shorebird field trips in San Diego, the Rio Grande Valley of Texas and Ocean Shores, WA. He currently lives in Battle Ground, WA.
Intertwine Alliance Partner Coffee
Please join Intertwine Alliance Board President Owen Wozniak and Co-Directors Tara Wilkinson and Katie Gavares for our September partner coffee!
We had originally hoped to gather this month for lunch in a park. Unfortunately, with the rise in Covid cases and hospitalizations, and resumed mask mandates, it’s not the right moment for an in-person event. Instead, please join us for a fun, structured virtual hour of socializing and relationship-building! We’ll start with an interactive group activity and then break into two rounds of small groups to talk about what we're all working on, brainstorm with and support each other, and build oh-so-valuable coalition connections.
**Optional but by no means required: We invite you to bring something representing your personal connection to nature. It could be a photo, a famous painting, the name of a trail you discovered this summer, a poem or book ... anything at all! We’ll have a chance to share these with each other during small-group time.**
We’re eager to spend time with you.
About partner coffees
The purpose of the Intertwine Alliance monthy partner coffee series is to create informal space for Intertwine Alliance partners to build connections and consensus around our work as a coalition. We'll change up the day/time each month to accommodate a maximum number of schedules.
