WOS is excited to welcome Tom Aversa and Hal Opperman, authors of the Birds of the Pacific Northwest- A Photographic Guide, as presenters for the Nov 5 meeting. They will recount their ten year "adventure in persistence" that, along with Dick Cannings, produced the 2016 photographic guide. Their goal in setting out on this project was to create a combined field guide and handbook covering the species of an entire bioregion, that would facilitate understanding the status and distribution on a landscape scale.

WOS meetings are held at the Center for Urban Horticulture, 3501 NE 41st St Seattle 98105. Social begins at 7PM, meeting starts at 7:30PM. GoToMeeting will be available (for members) to attend remotely.
