An Epic Alaskan Arctic Adventure
Presented by Lukas Padegimas
Lukas
will share his summer experiences as a volunteer for the
United States Fish and Wildlife Service at a remote four
person field camp at Cape Kruzenstern National Monument,
Alaska with the Arctic Shorebird Network. It is a story
of an intensive study of nesting shorebirds, survival
and adventure in this remarkably wild place. His summer
experience was supported, in part, by scholarships from
the Kirtland Bird Club and the Ohio Young
Birders Club.
About Lukas . . .
Lukas has been fascinated by birds since he saw a
scarlet tanager on a bird walk in 2004. His love for
shorebirds came after a family vacation to Henlopen
State Park in Delaware. Since then, he has been greatly
interested in conservation and the study of these
remarkable birds. Other than birding, his interests
include traveling, culture, the arts and living the
dream. Please read Lukas’s article, in the latest KBC
newsletter for more information.
