Our friend Kathy Patterson will be making a presentation tonight to the Salem Audubon Society about her 2008 WINGS tour to Gambell, Alaska.

She’ll be talking not just about the avian rarities (like this Jacksnipe) that are a staple of the trip, but also about life on remote St. Lawrence Island.

The lecture is free–and I can almost guarantee that you’ll be tempted to join us in 2009 after listening to Kathy’s tales!
