The Washington Ornithological Society would like to annouce their April
program:
Monday, April 5 - Ann Essinger will present "The Secret Life of the Great
Blue Heron."

Great blue herons are familiar to us all, yet seem to provoke a certain
mystique and fascination. Join Ann Eissinger in this special exploration of
the heron's secret life through a slide-illustrated lecture. You will be
introduced to members of the heron family and guided through the heron's
cycle of life by examining its habitat, feeding habits, plumage
characteristics, reproduction, and beautiful courtship rituals. Also
discussed will be the role of herons as bioindicators and the importance of
their conservation. "

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 open to all. The social begins at 7:00 p.m. and the program
starts at 7:30 p.m.

Directions: From I-5 take SR520 East. Take the Montlake Blvd NE exit and
turn North towards the University of Washington campus. Stay in right lane
