Hi Tweets
Tonight is the monthly Washington Ornithological Society Meeting. The speaker will be Rob Faucett from the Burke Museum on recording of wildlife sounds. Each year the Macaulay Library teaches state-of-the-art techniques for recording the sounds of wildlife with experts from the Lab of Ornithology. Participants learn through daily field recording sessions and lecture/discussions. Rob Faucett, Collections Manager of Ornithology at the Burke Museum, a past teacher for the Lab, will present an introduction to recording bird sounds in the field for WOS.

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.
