Dear Tweeters,

The Pacific Seabird Group would like to cordially invite you to
the 35th ANNUAL MEETING OF THE PACIFIC SEABIRD GROUP to be held
on 27 February- 2 March, 2008 at the Semiahmoo Resort in Blaine,
Washington. PSG is a society of professional seabird researchers
and managers dedicated to the study and conservation of
seabirds. If you are curious about the ecology, behavior, and
conservation of aquatic birds, or perhaps how to get involved in
citizen-science programs, this is the meeting for you. There are
exciting field trips on Sunday. This year's meeting theme is
"Seabirds in Marine Ecosystems" and the plenary speakers are
John Croxall (from the UK) and John Piatt (USGS Alaska), both
famous and influential seabird biologists. There is a symposium
on local research in Puget Sound, "The Salish Sea Ecosystem:
Status and Impacts of Changes on Marine Birds". The beautiful
conference hotel is located on the shores of Puget Sound at a
time when many species of seabirds, waterfowl and birds of prey
abound. For more information, consult the meeting web site at
