The Whale Museum's Summer Lecture Series Presents



The Whale Museum's Summer Lecture Series Presents: The Evolution of Killer Whale Call Repertoires by Andy Foote

Andy will begin with a brief overview of the range of sound made by different cetaceans and talk about their functions, then talk specifically about killer whale calls, about their function and how the environment and ecology shapes their acoustic behaviour. Andy will focus mainly on the southern residents, but also include information about transients, offshores and Icelandic killer whales.

This lecture will take place at The Whale Museum at 62 First St. N., Friday Harbor, at 7:00 pm on Thursday, July 28. For more information, please contact Marcy Kober at 360-378-4710 ext. 23. There is a suggested $3.00 donation. All proceeds benefit The Whale Museum's Education Programs.

The Whale Museum promotes stewardship of the Salish Sea ecosystem through education and research.

The San Juan County Land Bank has signed an agreement with the State of Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the purchase of 40 acres on Cady Mountain, San Juan Island. Old-growth and mature forest groves, secluded wetlands, and rocky outcrops with views of Mt. Baker are among the property's special features. This purchase will keep the land in public hands, and will enhance the Land Bank's adjoining 80 acre Cady Mountain Preserve. Closing of the transaction is expected by the end of 2005.

"I feel like I've gone back into the wilderness when I walk over that hill," said Cady Mountain resident Tom Small. "This land, with its huge trees and beautiful forest, supports a sense of peace for me. It's one of the few remaining untouched places on this island."
