Tweets - sorry for the late reminder

The February 2006 meeting of the Washington Ornithological Society will be:

Feb 6th - Ed Swan - Vashon/Puget Sound Habitat. The presentation focuses on
the history of habitat change on Vashon Island beginning with the original
Native American presence and following all of the alterations created since
European-American settlement. Most of the modifications to the island
ecosystem negatively affected some bird species while benefiting others.

Ed Swan has been birding for about twenty-five years and has been on every
CBC but one in various places around the state for the last 20 years. He
went through Master Birder program with SAS in 1990. He has led field trips
for SAS for several years and for the last six have been leading trips for
Vashon Audubon. He is currently the president of Vashon-Maury Island Audubon
Society.
