The Umpqua Valley Audubon Society and Roseburg Public Library invite the community to a Facebook Live streaming event with Oregon nature writer, journalist and environmentalist Marina Richie. She will create a visual journey featuring "Halcyon Journey: In Search of the Belted Kingfisher," a first-person narrative threading natural history, myth and memoir and winner of a 2022 National Outdoor Book Award.
