[Tweeters] WOS Meeting Monday in Seattle

[Michael Hobbs]

Tweets - the May meeting of the Washington Ornithological Society is this 
Monday, May 1, at the Center for Urban Horticulture in Seattle:

Monday, May 1st-Sievert Rohwer-Burke Museum - Molting/Migration - An evening 
that gives an overview of the Burke's effort to discover where some 
Northwest-breeding passerines go to molt before they reach their wintering 
grounds. These areas are mostly unknown, but probably have high conservation 
value. We could talk briefly about past/present collecting efforts by the 
Burke and other museums in the American Southwest and Mexico, and why the 
current collecting efforts are important to fleshing out our knowledge of 
birds in this area. Jessie Barry, Vanya Rohwer, and Sievert Rohwer could 
also each give short presentations on particular species, including western 
kingbirds (Jessie), Cassin's vireos (Vanya), and Lucy's warblers (Sievert). 
Jessie and Vanya are undergraduates at UW who are pursuing grant support for 
their respective research projects, which will make use of the Burke 
collections.

Horticulture on the University of Washington campus, 3501 NE 41st St.,
