Zack ask about birding groups. Since it has been while since I have posted
a plug for WOS, here goes...

The Washington Ornithological Society (WOS) was founded to provide a forum
for birders from throughout the state to gather information on bird
identification, biology, population, status, and birding sites.

Over 500 amateur and professional ornithologists currently belong to WOS.
Membership is open to all persons interested in birds and birding. Annual
dues are listed on the attached membership application form. Dues run from
January to January of each year.
