Hi all!

I'm happy to announce that the next meeting of the Prince George's Audubon Society and the Patuxent Bird Club (MOS) will be held tomorrow evening, 7:30 pm, at the College Park Airport Annex.  The talk is, as always, free and open to the public.  Please see our website for more information as well as information about upcoming events ( http://www.pgaudubon.org ).  

"Any avid ABA lister must sooner or later trek to the Bering Sea region to tick off Western Alaska specialties such as Red-legged Kittiwake, Whiskered Auklet, and Common Ringed Plover and at the same time hope to encounter some Asian vagrants along the way.  Phil just completed his 12th trip to Western Alaska and has compiled a multimedia presentation on the birding locations and the key target species of the region.

"His presentation introduces the Western Alaska birding locations of Attu, Shemya, Adak, Dutch Harbor, the Pribilof Islands, Gambell, and Nome. In addition to the "common" seabirds of the Bering Sea (murres, puffins, guillemots, etc.), his presentation includes photos and discusses target species he has seen in Western Alaska since 1998. He also summarizes Western Alaskan and Asian subspecies that are candidates for future AOU splits."

Hope to see you there!
