How to Watch Wildlife Even in Frosty February

Where's the Wildlife in February? James Luther Davis is the man to ask.

James Luther Davis

What's wild, winged and wonderful in the Wenatchee Valley in February?
(Hint: It goes knock, knock, knock -with the beak of its feathery head!)

Join James Luther Davis Friday, February 19, 7:00 - 9:00 PM at Barn Beach Reserve for a journey into the winter world of the woodpecker. You'll have a second chance to meet James at his book-signing Saturday, February 20, 1:00 - 3:00 PM at A Book For All Seasons.

The Northwest Nature Guide

From winter whale watching to autumn seabirding, James Luther Davis' The Northwest Nature Guide: Where to Go and What to See Month by Month in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia offers more than 150 best bets for wildlife adventures throughout the Northwest - including in your own backyard. Since timing is so important in nature, the book takes you through the year month by month. For each month, Davis describes four outstanding wildlife attractions or natural events. Each chapter also offers a "closer look" section about a general topic pertinent to that month as well as "nature nuggets:" briefer mentions of other natural happenings for that month.

"I've never met a better all-around naturalist or teller of nature tales than James Davis," says Mike Houck, executive director of the Urban Greenspaces Institute. With contagious enthusiasm and irrepressible humor, Davis shares insider tips and helpful maps to guarantee readers know where to see nature at its peak every month of the year. Whatever the season and no matter the weather, Davis entices nature lovers of all ages to discover what they might otherwise miss.

As he shares wildlife-watching secrets and etiquette, Davis urges you to be "patient, flexible, and observant" and to remember that nature is not particularly predictable. "Make each trip an adventure," says Davis.

About the Author

James Davis began his naturalist career as a lizard-chasing lad in Tucson, Arizona. After earning undergraduate and graduate degrees, he taught junior and senior high school science, and worked in zoos as the "Zoo Mobile Guy." In 1981 he moved to Portland and created a job as the first education director of the Audubon Society of Portland. After nine years at Audubon, he began teaching science at Marylhurst University, where he was instrumental in starting the university's "Head Start Summer Science Institute," the only science training program for Head Start teachers in the country.

James Luther Davis has been a naturalist for Metro Parks and Natural Areas since 1998, and also works at Smith and Bybee Wetlands Areas. In his free time, he plays guitar in rock and roll bands.
