April Audubon meeting highlights Auke Bay wildlife extravaganza

Are you among the many who watched the wildlife extravaganza at Auke Bay? Or did you miss it? Whales, seabirds, and other predators gathered at Auke Bay harbor, where schools of herring seemed to be at the center of a wildlife extravaganza. Come and join our April program of the Juneau Audubon Society, where the wildlife show will be relived. Local naturalists like Bob Armstrong will share videos, images and insights on possible reasons of this natural phenomenon. We’ll also share some info and photos from Southeast Alaska birding festivals. We invite you to bring your videos, photos and stories to share as well!

The meeting is April 14, 7 p.m. at UAS recreation center room 116.Free and open to the public. All children are welcome when accompanied by an adult. For more information go to juneau-audubon-society.org or email programs@juneau-audubon-society.org.
