Tweets - the November meeting of the Washington Ornithological Society will
be this Monday, the 6th:

Monday, November 6th - Burke Research. This meeting's subject will be
exploring some of the genetic work the Burke Museum at the UW is supporting,
and what insights this gives us into bird speciation, taxonomy, and
identification. Ongoing work into understanding the hybrid zone dynamics of
Hermit and Townsend's Warblers will be discussed. The Burke's participation
in the All Birds Barcoding Initiative - an international collaboration to
create a DNA sequence database for as many bird species in the world as
possible. This will be a multi-year effort, with the Burke supplying ca.
5000 tissues from more than 2000 species of birds.
