Oregon Field Guide Season 20 Episode 13

Overview:
Find out the truth about cats and birds in the Portland metro area. The Oregon Field guide crew introduces you to Bob Sallinger (Conservation Director for the Audubon Society of Portland), and the Audubon's rescue efforts to save wild song birds from cat predation. To help prevent the thousands of song bird attacks per year. Audubon and the Oregon Feral Cat Coalition have teamed up to promote a Spay/Neuter program. Most people can't put the concept of kayaking and fishing together. But for one Oregon couple, it's the only way to fish. Field Guide journeys to the waters off the beautiful Beverly Beach to see how these two kayak fishermen can get into areas that big boats can't and catch prized lingcod. We head into the ocean for a look at new technology designed to keep our coastline safe for seagoing vessels. See how NOAA (The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) is mapping the coastline off Oregon's coast using multibeam sonar. Join the crew of the research vessel Rainer as they plot the depths of the Columbia River Bar and Grays Harbor in Washington state. As well as the historic wreck of the Admiral Benson passenger ship. The spotted owl may have retreated from the headlines, but it's still in deep trouble. In addition to logging and habitat loss, one of the biggest threat is an invasion of east coast barred owls. A new plan proposes to kill barred owls in certain areas to help give the spotted owls a competitive edge. But will Oregon tolerate shooting one owl to save another?
