Hello, fellow Tweets. The post on David Thompson rang a muted bell of
memory in my foggy brain: I think the North Cascades Institute is
teaching a weekend seminar, something like, "In the footsteps of David
Thompson." Seems as if the instructor may even be Mr. Nisbet.

I have no affiliation with the Institute except having taken several of
their classes. I heartily recommend their weekend courses, taught in the
field in or near the North Cascades. They have some classes on birds, too.

If anyone wants more info on NCI, please email me privately at my home
email address: acoles at serv.net

End of commercial. I enjoyed both the previous posts on early NW
naturalists. --Anna Coles, Seattle, WA acoles at u.washington.edu
