> Tweets and Washington Ornithological Society members:
>
> This coming Monday, WOS is holding its monthly membership meeting.
>
> Mike Donahue will give a talk on "Identification of Iceland and Thayer's
Gulls:
> Shades of Gray or a Red Herring?"
>
> Iceland Gulls are being reported with increasing frequency on the west coast,
> with 7 currently accepted records for Washington. Identification of birds in
> the Iceland Gull/Thayer's Gull complex can be difficult, and out-of-range
birds
> often generate much discussion and controversy. Michael Donahue spent 5 days
> this past January in Newfoundland, the premier place in North America for
> studying large numbers of Iceland Gulls. He will share some of his slides of
> Iceland and Thayer's Gulls, and review what is known about identifying these
> two gulls in the field.
>
> Monthly Membership Meetings are held the first Monday of the month (except
> July, August, & September). They are held at the Center for Urban
Horticulture
> on the University of Washington campus, 3501 NE 41st St., Seattle, and are

> Directions: From I-5 take SR520 East. Take the Montlake Blvd NE exit and
