Our meeting on June 28 was pretty exciting and threatened to go overtime again! Ed and Kay Pullen reported on the field trip to central Washington, Kay Schimke reported on the spring Swifts at JBLM, Jerry Broadus reported on the interesting Bird Banders/OFO meeting in Oregon, and Clarice Clark invited us all to watch them band at the Morse Preserve in Graham on July 4 and July 14 from 6 to 11 AM! See separate announcement on this website. Ken Brown also got us thinking about more field trips and programs.

Then we had member slides including quiz birds (thanks, Melissa, Wayne, Diane, et al) and photos by John Riegsecker, Laurel Parshall, Heather Roskelley, Ed Pullen, Shep Thorp. We ran out of time and will be presenting further photos next meeting from Asta Tobiassen, Pat Damron, Melissa Sherwood, Wayne Sladek, me, and others. Thanks to Ryan Weiss for handling the photo presentation!

Next meeting July 26 featuring the inventor of LarkWire (bird audio)!
