CHARLIE WRIGHT GULL EVENT – NOV 2014

The response has been overwhelming for this event. We will be getting our difficult questions about Gull ID answered by our own rising bird star, Charlie Wright. He is the regional reviewer for eBird in Washington and a member of the Washington Bird Records Committee. He says, “I have been doing research on bird occurrence and migration on Middleton Island in the Gulf of Alaska for the last 4 fall seasons, and I work out of the University of Washington for the COASST program the rest of the year. COASST is a citizen science project monitoring beached birds from northern CA up to Alaska.”

PART ONE: WORKSHOP: Monday, November 24th, at 6:45 to 8:45 at UPS, Thompson Hall, room to be announced. $15. RSVP to Diane Y-Q at Avosetta@hotmail.com to get on the list. The actual room number will be sent out to those who have registered. This will take the place of our regular ABC meeting.

PART TWO: FIELD TRIP: Two field trip dates have been announced in conjunction with the workshop. You may attend the workshop or a field trip or both. Field trip fee is $15 (or if you do both a field trip and the workshop, $25).
