[Tweeters] WOS Presentation, Mon., April 5, Washington’s Vagrants: Where and When with Matt Bartels

[meetings at wos.org]

Are you a birder who appreciates our local birds but also cannot help becoming excited when you learn that a rare bird – a 
vagrant -- has been spotted in our state, whether or not you might be able to go searching for it yourself?  If so, you may 
wonder:  where do these unexpected birds come from; where do they show up in WA; and is there any predictability to 
when they appear?

If you would like to know the answers to these questions and more, please join WOS (Washington Ornithological Society) at 
its April 5 Monthly Meeting when Matt Bartels will share what he has learned about species that rarely get seen in the 
state.  

Matt’s impressive credentials include the fact that he has served as Secretary of the Washington Bird Records Committee 
(WBRC) for the past 10 years.   Moreover, he is a passionate county lister, one of only two Washington birders to have seen 
200 species in each of Washington State’s counties.  He was a member of Seattle Audubon’s Master Birder Class of 2005-6, 
taught by Dennis Paulson.
