Subject: [Tweeters] WOS Meeting in Seattle Monday


> Tweets - the February meeting of the Washington Ornithological Society
> will be this Monday, February 5th.

> Charlie Wurster: Polar Seabird Adaptations to the Environment - Partial
> convergent evolution of Arctic and Antarctic seabirds. Why Alcids in the
> Arctic can fly and penguins in the Antarctic cannot. This is not a
> research project, but rather a compilation of slides from two ecological
> cruises to the Arctic and 3three to the Antarctic. The latter includes
> South Georgia, one of the more scenic parts of the world. There are also
> birds other than penguins and alcids. My slide sequence jumps back and
> forth between the two polar regions for comparisons, and it is also
> possible, and maybe more effective, to use dual projection. This allows a
> murre to be compared with a penguin, for example, but dual projection also
> can get scrambled if the sequence gets mixed up. cfwurster at yahoo.com
