From eagles to hummingbirds, Idie Ulsh will explore with us how and where birds make nests, nest configurations and relate interesting facts about their construction. She has photographed the nests of more than 30 species, with an emphasis on song birds.
Idie is well known for her bird, butterfly and butterfly gardening programs and has recently completed an in-depth, three-year study of bird nests. She is a past president of Seattle Audubon, founder of the Washington Butterfly Association, Seattle Audubon Master Birder, freelance nature photographer and an independent college counselor.
In addition to her own photos, she will include photos from University of Puget Sound Slater Museum, Cornell Lab of Ornithology and many local photographers who have contributed to this unique and fun program.
