> Tweets - the May meeting of the Washington Ornithological Society is this
> Monday, May 1, at the Center for Urban Horticulture in Seattle:
>
> Monday, May 1st-Sievert Rohwer-Burke Museum - Molting/Migration - An
> evening that gives an overview of the Burke's effort to discover where
> some Northwest-breeding passerines go to molt before they reach their
> wintering grounds. These areas are mostly unknown, but probably have high
> conservation value. We could talk briefly about past/present collecting
> efforts by the Burke and other museums in the American Southwest and
> Mexico, and why the current collecting efforts are important to fleshing
> out our knowledge of birds in this area. Jessie Barry, Vanya Rohwer, and
> Sievert Rohwer could also each give short presentations on particular
> species, including western kingbirds (Jessie), Cassin's vireos (Vanya),
> and Lucy's warblers (Sievert). Jessie and Vanya are undergraduates at UW
> who are pursuing grant support for their respective research projects,
> which will make use of the Burke collections.
