Episode 8: Drawing and Painting Birds with Nora Sherwood
<p>How can art alter how you look at the world? Today Paul talks to Nora Sherwood, science illustrator and nature artist about her work drawing and painting birds and other wildlife. Nora shares how she came to this work later in life, leaving a career in tech to learn how to become an artist. She discusses the process of working with scientists to convey key messages about their study subjects, the strengths and weaknesses of hand drawn versus digital art, and how taking the time to observe the minute details of a subject leads to novel curiosity and appreciation for that subject. Ultimately, the conversation aims to answer the question, what can art do for the conservation movement? Can appreciating the aesthetic of a bird lead to action taken to protect it?</p><p>In the introduction, Paul provides an overview of what birds you can expect to see this month on the Oregon Coast.

Episode 7: Offshore Wind Energy with Ann Vileisis
<p>Offshore wind energy is in the news. While it’s a potentially promising step toward decarbonizing the grid, conservationists and fishermen alike share concerns about its potential impacts. In this episode, Paul talks to Ann Vileisis, President of Kalmiopsis Audubon Society and independent scholar about the recent proposals for offshore floating turbines off of the southern coast of Oregon. Ann shares her perspective on why a more careful approach to the implementation of these projects matters, and they discuss the specific challenges they pose to seabirds and other ocean life. While decarbonization is critical in the race against climate change, ecosystem-level thinking about alternative energy sources is imperative to not damage vulnerable populations irreversibly. After all, as Ann says, “the ocean is not empty.”</p><p>In the introduction, Paul provides an overview of what birds you can expect to see this month on the Oregon Coast.
