The January meeting of the Washington Ornithological Society will be: Monday, January 2nd, 2006- Note that we are meeting even though this is a holiday for many.

Washington and Alaska - the Link - Many of the birds that we enjoy in fall and winter, and while passing through on the way south, have spent their spring and summer on the breeding grounds in Alaska. Brian Bell and Michael Hobbs will share photos from near Kotzebue showing some of the territory these Alaskan birds can be found in, as well as some of the birds, many of them in their breeding finery.

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 45th St. You will quickly approach a 5 way intersection. At the intersection turn right onto Mary Gates Memorial Drive.
