[Tweeters] WOS Monthly Meeting, February 5, 2025

[meetings at wos.org]

The Washington Ornithological Society (WOS) is pleased to announce our next Monthly Meeting: on Monday, February 5, well-known swan biologist, Martha Jordan will present "Washington’s White Birds of Winter - Swans and Snow Geese."

Since the late 1970’s, Martha has contributed enormously to understanding the life history of swans and Snow Geese, their biology and what influences their distribution across our state and the Pacific flyway.  She wrote the state’s first Trumpeter Swan management plan in 1985, and is a member of WDFW’s Waterfowl Advisory Group. 

These birds face a changing landscape in migration and on their wintering grounds, and are confronted by habitat issues, avian influenza, swan lead poisoning and more.  Martha will detail these challenges to our White Birds of Winter, and what is needed to ensure their future.  

The meeting will be conducted virtually, via Zoom (no in-person attendance).  Sign-in will begin at 7:15 pm, and the meeting commences at 7:30 pm.  Please go to the WOS Monthly Meetings page:    https://wos.org/monthly-meetings/  for instructions on participation and to get the Zoom link.

When joining the meeting, we ask that you mute your device and make certain that your camera is turned off.

This meeting is open to all as WOS invites everyone in the wider birding community to attend.  Thanks to the generosity of our presenters, recordings of past programs are available at the following link to the WOS YouTube Channel:
