Hi Tweeters --

The deadline for abstract submission for presenting a talk at the
Western Field Ornithologists (WFO) conference in Boise this September
has been extended to 1 JULY. We have a few remaining open slots on
the program, so all you banders and citizen-science researchers and
ornithologists out there, come join us for what is shaping up to be a
great meeting.

See the website to download a copy of the Call for Papers: go to
http://www.westernfieldornithologists.org/ , click on the link for
the conference, and then the link for the call for papers.

ALSO, anyone planning to register for the conference, I'd recommend
doing so soon, as hotel space has become limited now that the local
football team changed their schedule to create a home game in town
that weekend. See the website for conference schedule and
registration info. And don't overlook the field trip to view what
may soon become the newest species of bird in North America, the
South Hills Crossbill, a taxon of Red Crossbill restricted to a small
region of southern Idaho.

Looking forward to seeing you in Boise,

Jay Withgott
WFO, and Portland, OR
