The Washington Ornithological Society would like to invite you all to
their next monthly meeting:

Monday, November 3, 2003 - Scott Downes will present "Reproductive Ecology
of the Sage Thrasher in a Disturbed Shrub-steppe Landscape." The talk will
cover his master's research on the reproductive ecology of sage thrashers
in the Columbia Basin, background information on the shrub-steppe of the
Columbia Basin, and how disturbance and exotics affect obligate songbirds,
mainly in regard to sage thrashers. Research was a part of Scott's master'
s degree completed last season (2002) and this spring (2003).

Scott received his Bachelor's degree in the Wildlife Science Group,
College of Forest Resources, at the UW. He is currently finishing his
master's of biology at Central Washington University in Ellensburg.

Monthly meetings are held the first Monday of the month (except July,
