The Umpqua Valley Audubon Society and the Roseburg Public Library will feature “A Bird’s Rainbow” presentation by scientist, birder and teacher Bob Lewis on Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m.

The free public program will be offered at the library on Northeast Diamond Lake Boulevard.

Many birds are brightly colored. Others use patterned feathers for camouflage. Lewis will talk about how these colors originate and what the difference is between pigments and physical colors. Lewis has taught birding classes in the San Francisco Bay Area for more than 25 years and served as the chair of the Golden Gate Bird Alliance’s Adult Education Committee. He was honored with the American Birding Association’s Chandler Robbins Award for Education and Conservation in 2016. Lewis has photographed birds in more than 60 countries.
