Topic: The workshop will present a variety of birds up close and personal, Slater Museum specimens that can be examined and rendered into art. The museum has skins, wings, skeletons, and eggs of just about all Pacific Northwest birds, so feel free to make requests. After lunch we will go out in the field to Titlow Beach to see what birds we can find. There should be a variety of waterfowl (wigeons, scoters, mergansers, Buffleheads), gulls and other seabirds (grebes, guillemots) and as many small land birds (sparrows, wrens, thrushes) as we can find in the woods there.

He began studying natural history as a boy and is a world expert on dragonflies and shorebirds.

I could pick you up in front of the Burke Museum. It is easy to swing by with the car, load your stuff and go on to I-5 to get to the workshop.
My plan is to pick you and Jeanne at 7:50 AM at the Burke. Would that work?

I can give a ride to 3 people. I live in W. Seattle too, so Karen I can offer you a lift and pick you up too since I know where you live. Let me know if that works for you.

Hello classmates,
Seattle Audubon is offering a class on Feather Groups and Molt for Beginning Birders this Wednesday, February 5th. There are 3 spaces left (although the webpage says the class is full, I went to the registration page and there was still space available).
I live in on the Eastside (in Fall City) and can give a ride to anyone in Issaquah, Bellevue, etc.
Thank you!
Carla

Oops! A really nice man from Seattle Audubon just called and said the Feathers class really is full (and 3 people are already on the waiting list). Sorry!
