Pacific Mammal Research is dedicated to understanding more about this poorly understood population\, using techniques such as photo-ID surveys and passive acoustic technology.  \nLearn more about this shy and elusive species\, and the research that is shedding new light on them. \nWhale Trail founder Donna Sandstrom will also give an update on Governor Jay Inslee’s Orca Recovery Task Force and how you can become involved in protecting the southern resident orcas. \nJoin us as we kick off a new season of Orca Talks! Buy tickets in advance here! \nAbout the Speaker \nDr. Cindy Elliser has conducted marine mammal research for over 15 years.  She worked with Dr. Denise Herzing and the Wild Dolphin Project studying Atlantic spotted and bottlenose dolphins in the Bahamas for 10 years before moving to the Pacific Northwest in 2014 and founding Pacific Mammal Research to study marine mammals in the Salish Sea.  She also is an adjunct biology/chemistry instructor at Skagit Valley College. \nAbout The Whale Trail \nThe Whale Trail is a series of sites to view orcas and other marine mammals from shore. Our mission is to inspire appreciation and stewardship of whales and our marine environment.  \nThrough our current sites and signs\, including two on every Washington State ferry\, we reach more than 50 million people each year. The Whale Trail is currently adding new sites along the North American west coast\, from California to British Columbia. \nThe Whale Trail is led by a core team of partners including NOAA Fisheries\, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife\, the Seattle Aquarium\, the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary\, the Whale Museum.

SUMMARY:The Whale Trail: Kin-directed prey-sharing behavior
DESCRIPTION:Family feast: Kin-directed prey sharing behavior in northern resident killer whales\nPresentation by Brianna Wright \nWhen: November 8th\, 2018 7:00-8:30 Doors open at 6:15 \nWhere: Dakota Place Park 4304 SW Dakota  \nCost: (updated) $10 General Admission; Kids under 12 are Free \nAdvance tickets: https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3739714 \nPresented by The Whale Trail \nResident killer whales prey almost exclusively on salmon and depend particularly on Chinook (the least common species of salmon in the Pacific Northwest)\, which makes up the majority of their known diet. Despite the importance of Chinook to the survival of individual killer whales\, they frequently choose to share this critical resource with family members. Brianna Wright\, Eva Stredulinsky\, Graeme Ellis and Dr. John Ford conducted a 12-year study (2002-2014) examining patterns of prey sharing behavior among northern resident killer whales. In particular\, the talk will discuss the prevalence of prey sharing between close maternal relatives\, and the role that this cooperative behavior may have played in the evolution of this population’s unusually stable social structure. \nA scientific article presenting the results from this study\, entitled “Kin-directed food sharing promotes lifetime natal philopatry of both sexes in a population of fish-eating killer whales\, Orcinus orca”\, is available free of charge from the journal Animal Behavior at the following link: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0003347216000737 \nAbout the Speaker \nBrianna Wright holds a BSc. in Biology and Anthropology from the University of Victoria and a MSc. in Zoology from the University of British Columbia. She began her career in whale research as an undergraduate co-op student with Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s marine mammal research group in 2007\, transitioning to full-time work as a research technician for the same team in 2008. Her graduate thesis used Dtags (a suction-cup attached device that records dive depth\, body position and underwater sound) to investigate the fine-scale foraging behavior of resident killer whales. In 2014\, Brianna graduated from UBC and returned to the Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo\, where she currently works as a marine mammal biologist for Fisheries and Oceans Canada. In 2016\, she published a paper with Eva Stredulinsky\, Graeme Ellis and John Ford about prey sharing behavior by resident killer whales and its influence on the evolution of their unique social structure. This paper was awarded Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s Paper of the Year award in 2016. Her recent research includes projects on resident killer whale population monitoring\, feeding behavior and echolocation\, as well as habitat modeling for large baleen whales to help reduce the impact of vessel strikes on these vulnerable populations.\n \nShare This

SUMMARY:Fall in Love with 25 Seattle Birds
DESCRIPTION:Fall in Love with 25 Seattle Birds \n2/16/2020 @ 1-3 pm \nYoungstown Cultural Arts Center 4408 Delridge Way SW Seattle\, WA 98106 \nHave you ever wondered what that little brown bird over there is? Or who on earth is singing so loudly outside your window at 4 a.m.? Do you consider yourself…bird curious? \nHave we got a workshop for you! \nJoin Seattle Audubon and the Delridge Neighborhood Development Association to learn how to easily identify 25 common bird species right in your own backyard. You’ll learn to tell a Song Sparrow from a Dark-eyed Junco\, and a Dark-eyed Junco from a Black-caped Chickadee. But that’s not all. We’ll discuss the cultural importance of Pacific Northwest birds to local tribes\, threats to our feathered friends and what we can all do to protect them. Finally\, we’ll end with a hands-on\, in-the-field exercise that puts your new ID skills to use with the eBird community science mobile application. Participants will be challenged to continue practicing their new ID skills and eBird with the top contributor after a month receiving a special gift from Seattle Audubon! \nWorkshop leaders strongly recommend that participants download\, install\, and create an account with the eBird community science application on their smart phones prior to the workshop. Android users can download the app from Google Play. iPhone users can download the app from the App Store. \nCornell University’s Lab of Ornithology developed and maintains eBird. The app allows users to track bird observations and links to resources to aid with bird identification. Observations contributed through eBird are used by researchers at Universities\, the National Audubon Society\, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service\, and have resulted in dozens of peer-reviewed scientific studies that are helping resource managers understand and protect birds. \nRegistration *not required*: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1HmAYo_VmpTlkxc9wwuoEu7Mdz1h8u7s5z77gK90B7eo/edit?ts=5e22104c&fbclid=IwAR0R4OMihAszxBiozyFGwxn5CLFmV12j4RPA84wLwlksQwM11RTmQPuJRIQ \nCost: *free* \nShare This

SUMMARY:Lynda Mapes And Guests Discuss "Orca: Shared Waters\, Shared Home"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation about the history and the future of Orca whales in Puget Sound. Registration required. Click here to register via EventBrite.  \nThis panel conversation will include Jay Julius\, former Chairman\, Lummi Nation; Deborah Giles\, Orca scientist at UW Center for Conservation Biology and Science Director of Wild Orca and Jason Colby\, Chairman of the History Department at University of Victoria and author of Orca. \nThe event is presented in partnership with Elliott Bay Book Company\, Mountaineers Books and The Seattle Times. This event is supported by The Seattle Public Library Foundation. This event will be recorded for SPL’s YouTube Channel. \nABOUT THE BOOK: \nIn Orca: Shared Waters\, Shared Home journalist Lynda V. Mapes explores the natural history of the orca and the unique challenges for survival of the Southern Resident group that frequents Puget Sound. These whales are among the most urban in the world\, a focus of researchers\, tourists\, and politicians alike. Once referred to as “blackfish” and still known as “killer whales\,” orcas were for generations regarded as vermin to be avoided or exterminated\, then later were captured live for aquariums all over the world. With greater exposure\, scientists realized how intelligent the mammal is and are learning about their matriarchal family groups\, vocalizations\, behavior\, and different subspecies. Today only 74 Southern Resident whales are left\, and they are threatened by habitat degradation\, lack of Chinook salmon (their primary food source)\, relentless growth\, and climate change. Can we reverse the trend? \nThis special project\, co-published with the Pulitzer Prize winning Seattle Times newspaper\, features stunning imagery by Times photographer Steve Ringman\, as well as from partner organizations including The Whale Museum\, NOAA\, and Center for Whale Research. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS: \nLYNDA V. MAPES is a journalist\, author\, and close observer of the natural world. The Seattle Times has made a point of focusing on environmental issues for its readership; Lynda has been a key part in this effort\, covering natural history\, environmental topics and issues related to Pacific Northwest indigenous cultures. Her writing connects ordinary people and nature. In 1997\, while working at the Spokesman Review in Spokane\, Washington\, she was awarded the Gerald Loeb award for a series on salmon recovery efforts in the Columbia Basin. It was the first time anyone looked at what the region had spent on recovery in the basin and what had resulted from those efforts. In addition to her newspaper career\, she is the author of two books\, Washington: The Spirit of the Land and Breaking Ground. Her first extended encounter with the Elwha ecosystem\, dams\, Port Angeles community and Lower Elwha Klallam tribe\, this latter book laid an important groundwork of sources for reporting the forthcoming newspaper series and this proposed book on the Elwha. She lives in Seattle with her husband Douglas MacDonald. \nBorn and raised at Lummi Nation in Bellingham\, Washington\, Jay Julius spent a number of years in California as a professional golfer\, speaker\, and entrepreneur before returning home to Lummi. He has served as Chair of\, and on Council at\, Lummi Nation; has organized and executed Tribal\, local\, regional\, and national campaigns. During his time on Lummi Nation’s Council\, Jay led the  Sovereignty and Treaty Protection Office; saw the launch of the Nation’s Salish Sea Campaign;  sounded the alarm for the clean-up of the fish farm disaster;  instigated the acquisition of culturally and economically significant  lands; and was deeply involved in the fight against the proposed coal port at Xwe’chi’eXen/Cherry Point. He currently works as a strategic advisor and executive coach through Julius Consulting LLC. \nDr. Deborah Giles serves as the Science & Research Director for Wild Orca\, and as a Research Scientist at the University of Washington—monitoring the Southern Resident killer whales’ health through non-invasive sampling with Eba\, her highly-trained poop detection dog. \nJason M. Colby is associate professor of environmental and international history at the University of Victoria. Born in Victoria\, British Columbia\, and raised in the Seattle area\, he worked as a commercial fisherman in Alaska and Washington State. He is the author of The Business of Empire: United Fruit\, Race\, and US Expansion in Central America. \nView in Catalog: Orca: Shared Waters\, Shared Home by Lynda Mapes \nWe can provide accommodations for people with disabilities at Library events. Please contact leap@spl.org at least seven days before the event to request accommodations. Captions are available for all recorded Library programs. \nFor registration information and other questions\, Ask Us or 206-386-4636. \nShare This
