Naturalist Presentation

In June 2019, Roy Lowe and friends travelled to Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska, the northernmost city in the United States.  Located 330 miles north of the Arctic Circle, the surrounding area is the seasonal home to a variety of migratory birds that come from far and wide to breed during the brief summer period.  Their visit was timed to observe and photograph birds during the peak period of activity when they are establishing territories, building nests and laying eggs.  The sun never sets in June providing around the clock opportunities to observe and photograph birds.  Join us for a visit to the Land of the Midnight Sun!

Roy Lowe is an avid local photographer and birder.  He was employed with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for more than 37 years upon his retirement in 2015.

This event is sponsored by Yaquina Birders & Naturalists.
