Yikes - that's, like, tomorrow night!

The Washington Ornithological Society would like to invite you to our
monthly meeting tomorrow, Monday, May 2, at 7:00 at the Center for Urban
Horticulture in Seattle:

Matt Klope - Radar tracking birds and collision avoidance at Whidbey Naval
Air Station

Matthew will discuss the Navy's efforts to manage wildlife at Naval and
Marine Corps facilities and the Navy's involvement in the International
Partner's In Flight Program. He is also going to bring a Mobil Avian RADAR
unit (BIRDRAD) which is used to monitor bird activity around airfields to
assist in the management of bird populations and to aid in the planning on
military aircrew training. This unit will be available for viewing birds at
NIGHT.

Matthew is a civilian wildlife biologist and has worked for the Navy for 24
years. He has been the Navy and Marine Corps Birdstrike Prevention Manager
since 2001
