Join us on Thursday (meetings are usually on Tuesdays), June 4th for our in-person Program & Meeting where we are thrilled to host science writer and biologist Gretchen Newberry as she shares her research on the extraordinary lives of Common Nighthawks! All are welcome.
Common Nighthawks are masters of mystery, using intricate camouflage to blend seamlessly into the landscape, their presence often unveiled only by sharp calls and the uncanny booming of their diving displays. Gretchen’s work reveals the complex behaviors hidden behind their secretive nature and how these birds are struggling to adapt in the face of habitat loss and climate change.
Gretchen graduated in 2018 with a Ph.D. in biology from the University of South Dakota where she studied common nighthawks. In addition, she has a B.S. in wildlife science from Oregon State University and a B.A. in journalism and anthropology from University of Wisconsin.
When: Thursday, June 4th at 6:30pm
Where: Evergreen Public Schools District Office at 13413 NE LeRoy Haagen Memorial Drive, Vancouver, WA
No meeting in July or August: Enjoy the summer break and we’ll see you again in September!
