> since April 1994. His walks started out as solo jaunts, but for most of
> the
> trips, he's been joined by Brian Bell. In recent years, he's opened up
> the
> walks to many birders, but the focus remains on trying to see and document
> as many birds and bird species as possible - to date, some 850 visits and
> 210 species. Michael will present a virtual tour with maps and photos, as
> well as information about the birds and their status. Additionally, he'll
> discuss his ideas about the process of censusing birds and the analysis of
> the data collected. Michael has been birding in Washington state for over
> 20 years, and is a Seattle Audubon Master Birder. He's been on the Board
> of
> the Friends of Marymoor Park since its inception over a decade ago, and
> has
> long been an active volunteer with WOS."
