Tweets - the next meeting of the Washington Ornithological Society will be
TODAY, Monday, January 5th, in Seattle. The snow is not forecast to fall
until Tuesday A.M., and may be minimal in Seattle and the north sound.

Michael Donahue will present All the Gulls I've Loved Before: Adventures in
Gull Watching

Mike has pursued gulls from Churchill to the Gulf Coast, from Monterey Bay
to Newfoundland, and loves to talk about gulls! He will talk about why he
thinks gulls are cool, the challenges and rewards of gull identification,
and will share his experiences with some of his favorite gulls.

Coming up later in 2004: a Burke Museum presentation, Crows with John
Withey, Herons with Ann Essinger, and Ospreys with Ed Schulz and Chuck
Henny.

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
and drive North on Montlake Blvd (over the bridge and past the stadium).
The road will curve to the right around the Montlake Fill and merges with NE

intersection turn right onto Mary Gates Memorial Drive. The Center for
Urban Horticulture is 2 long blocks down on the right. There is plenty of
free parking at the facility. We use the main meeting room, the backside of
which faces the road. The following bus routes stop at NE 45th and Mary
