The Washington Ornithological Society would like to announce their May
Meeting:

Monday, May 5 - Tim Cullinan will present "Bird Conservation's Second
Revolution," which describes the unprecedented efforts of conservationists
to protect entire ecosystems for the benefit of birds. He'll give an
eye-opening report on the conservation status of Washington's bird
populations and habitats, and discuss how birders can painlessly
contribute their expertise to improve the scientific underpinnings of bird
conservation.

Tim is Audubon Washington's wildlife biologist, with responsibilities for
all bird conservation projects, field-based science programs, citizen
science projects, and technical assistance to local chapters. He has been
active in Partners in Flight and other cooperative bird conservation
efforts at both the state and regional levels since 1995. He is the author
of Important Bird Areas of Washington, and is a member of the National IBA
Technical Committee. Before coming to Washington fifteen years ago, Tim
conducted research on Canada Geese, Ruffed Grouse, and forest songbirds in
the Midwest and Northeast.

Monthly Membership Meetings are held the first Monday of the month (except

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