Subject: WOS Meeting in Seattle on Monday


> Tweets - the Washington Ornithological Society would like to announce
> their March meeting in Seattle:
>
> Monday, March 7th - Sievert Rohwer - The Burke Museum is currently
> undertaking an extensive study tracking local birds as they migrate to the
> American Southwest and Mexico. The study has fascinating implications on
> the differences in life-history strategies between east and west-coast
> North American birds, which to some extent have evolved different
> behaviors because of differences in climate and habitat. It also has
> implications for speciation because these strategies separate populations
> in space and time.
>
> Sievert Rohwer grew up in the deep south where he spent most of his
> childhood in the woods catching snakes. "Glen Woolfenden was my
> undergraduate mentor and the only field biologist at the University of
> South Florida in the 60's, so I switched to studying birds." Rohwer came
> to Seattle in 1972, jointly appointed in Zoology and as Curator of Birds
> at the Burke Museum.
>
> 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. 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
> Gates Memorial Drive: #25, 65, & 75. A map can be found on
