THE STORM PETREL
Our quarterly newsletter, The Storm Petrel, is the best source for news about local issues of wildlife and environment on the South Coast.
It is named for the Leach’s storm petrels that live a pelagic life over the Pacific and nest in burrows on grassy islands off our coast – the closest they come to shore. There is a large storm petrel colony located on the sea stacks near Brookings.
The Storm Petrel has repeatedly won awards from the National Audubon Society as the best newsletter for a chapter of our size! Free copies can be picked up at libraries in Port Orford, Gold Beach, and Brookings. If you are a member of Kalmiopsis Audubon, you will receive your copy in the mail. The “Petrel” is generally mailed in late January, April, July and October. You can help with the newsletter by volunteering at our mailing parties.
