There will be two amazing events featuring acclaimed author and SeaDoc Board Member Audrey Benedict, who co-authored two #SalishSea books with our Science Director, Joe Gaydos, in Seattle in mid February! The book is beautiful and the event will be great, so don’t miss out. Reserve a seat soon, because the events are filling up (this event is free). Museum doors open at 6 pm. Enjoy a complimentary buffet dinner catered by Off the Rez Cafe and tour the all-new museum (also at no charge) before the program begins at 7:30 pm.

Celebrate the magnificence of waterbird migration along the Pacific Flyway—the 10,000-mile migratory corridor.

Join the authors of Pacific Flyway, along with renowned wildlife and conservation photographer Gerrit Vyn, and discover the vast network of saltwater and freshwater habitats used by millions of waterbirds as they migrate between their breeding and overwintering grounds. 

Through stunning photography, amazing video footage, and the sounds of migration, you will learn the extraordinary stories of these remarkable birds that convert food, air, and water into a mileage plan that has few equals in the animal world. 

Books will be available for purchase and signing.

Doors open at 6 p.m. Enjoy a light buffet dinner catered by Off the Rez Café and tour the new museum before the program begins at 7:30 p.m.
