Global warming will definitely have an impact on birds!

Required bird content:
Saw my 1st Varied Thrush in the yard this morning. A flock of perhaps 50
Pine Siskins flew through yesterday (first I've seen this year) but didn't
stick around.

Thanks!

Global Warming Activist Workshop - February 2, 2008



Global warming is a huge, overwhelming issue. Many feel something should be
done, but don't know what to do . Here is a chance to learn how to take
action as a concerned citizen and make a difference!



East Lake Washington Audubon and the Cascade Chapter of the Sierra Club,
will host a Global Warming Activist Workshop on Saturday, February 2, 2008 ,
from 9 am to 3 pm at Bastyr University in Kenmore.



No experience is necessary. You will learn about the impacts of global
warming, and what actions you can take. The training in lobbying skills and
working with the media will have the goal of passing local, state and
federal legislation.



Guest speakers, including prominent weather expert Cliff Maas, will talk
about the latest on climate change, and teach you how to talk to elected
officials. Practical actions to maximize your impact will be the goal. You
will leave the workshop with a set of skills and tools to begin taking
action in your community right away.



Cost for the all day workshop, which includes lunch and materials, is $15. A
limited number of scholarships are available for those with a financial
need.
