Evento

The Owl & the Woodpecker In Washington

The Bloedel Reserve is hosting wildlife photographer Paul Bannick's multimedia photo exhibit, "The Owl & the Woodpecker in Washington" from October 13th to November 30th. Paul's lecture on November 18th will be a complement to the exhibit, and the artist will lead attendees for a personal tour of the exhibit that night.

Paul's presentations on owls and woodpeckers take audiences on a visual and auditory exploration of habitats of North America through the owls and woodpeckers that most define and enrich these places. This photographic field report celebrates the ways the lives of these two iconic birds are intertwined with one another, and their role as keystone and indicator species for their environment. Audiences are immersed in the sights and sounds of forest, grassland, arctic, and desert, and in the entertaining and informative details of Paul's narrative. The hidden life of these birds is obvious for those who know how to find it. Paul knows how to find it, and how to bring it to life for his audiences through photos, sound, and stories.

Paul's presentations continue to evolve. Most of the photos he will share were taken since his books release and dozens have never been shared before.
