• The Owl and the Woodpecker Traveling Exhibit

  The Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture at the University of Washington will launch a new national traveling exhibit of conservation photography, based on Paul’s book The Owl and the Woodpecker. The exhibit–featuring Paul's extraordinary images, together with informative text and vivid sound recordings–introduces audiences to North America’s most specialized species of owls and woodpeckers, examining the birds’ intertwined life histories and illustrating how they define and enrich the specific habitats on which they depend. Evocative and engaging, this exhibit demonstrates why the presence of owls attests to the health of the ecosystem they inhabit, and how woodpeckers improve these same habitats for all wildlife, especially owls, through their day–to–day activities. Visitors will leave with a greater appreciation for these remarkable birds, and a better understanding of the critical need for conservation.

  The Owl and the Woodpecker will be on view at the Burke Museum in Seattle from March 19 through August 7, 2011, and then will tour museums throughout the U.S.
