Audubon Lecture

What:

Chet Ogan and Jude Power will present images and vivid descriptions of their January 2010 trip to Antarctica at the May 13 Redwood Region Audubon monthly program. The lecture, entitled “Ice Birds and Icebergs,” will cover their 18-day voyage among albatrosses, penguins, flightless ducks, big bad giant petrels, toothy leopard seals, whales, and icebergs, with the jovial camaraderie of 50 other adventurers. Their ship called on the Falkland Islands, South Georgia Island, mainland Antarctica, and the Erebus & Terror Gulf, and they survived to tell about it. This free program will be held at the Humboldt County Office of Education at Myrtle and West Avenues in Eureka starting at 7:30 p.m. Bring a mug to enjoy shade-grown coffee and come fragrance free.
