The Washington Ornithological Society (WOS) has announced that this year’s annual conference will be held April 25-28 in Long Beach, Washington. WOS is busy recruiting trip leaders and arranging for evening programs. It plans to offer half and full day field trips, including potential pelagic trips, if possible. The keynote speaker will be well-known photographer Gerrit Vin, who will speak on global shorebirds that nest in the North American arctic.  More information will be forthcoming at wos.org as it becomes available.
