Join Redwood Region Audubon Society in welcoming Monte Merrick, director of Humboldt Wildlife Care Center/Bird Ally X for the past 10 years. He will discuss the enormous toll free-roaming, domestic cats take on native wildlife. Find out what works to protect birds, reptiles and small mammals and also allows domestic cats to enjoy the outdoors. Monte has worked in the field of wildlife care specifically as an emergency responder during oil spills, rescuing and rehabilitating oil impacted wildlife, around California, and internationally. Merrick is co-author of Introduction to Aquatic Bird Rehabilitation, the only manual of aquatic bird rehabilitation in existence.
