ABOUT OUR PHOTOS

The photos on our website (unless otherwise credited) have been taken and generously donated for use by two Kalmiopsis Audubon Society members:

Photographer Lois Miller specializes in birds. When she is not working her day job, she is out with her camera, mucking around in marshes, scoping at the Port, exploring the lake and other local habitats --even getting down on her belly in the sand to get a great shot.

Lois’s photos have been featured in an exhibit at the University of Oregon and in several galleries on the Oregon Coast, including the Point B Studio Gallery in Port Orford’s Battle Rock business district.

Her photos have been published in a variety of publications including, Oregon Birds, the Oregon Birding Trails brochures, and in our own Kalmiopsis Audubon Society Storm Petrel.

She has also placed in several national photo competitions, including Parade Magazine’s and the Great Backyard Birdcount's.

Each year Lois makes a calendar of local Curry Birds that is available for sale at the True Value hardware store in Port Orford. You can also buy lovely cards that feature her photos--great for any occasion--at True Value.
