Dave Wurzbach
Ospreys and Kestrels

Dave has been interested in ospreys for 28 and a half years (and counting). His kestrel project, on the other hand, is more of a research project than his osprey interests, and he has been collecting data on them for well over a dozen years.

James Watson
Ferruginous Hawks and Wind Turbines

Between 1999 and 2003, 13 adult and 15 juvenile Ferruginous Hawks from Washington were monitored via satellite telemetry to assess their migration, range use, and survival, in order to better understand Ferruginous Hawk ecology and population dynamics, and to promote recovery of this species from state "threatened" status.

Directions: From I-5, take SR 520 East. Take the Montlake Blvd. NE exit and turn north towards the University of Washington campus. Stay in right lane and go north on Montlake Blvd. over the bridge and past the stadium. The road will curve to the right around the Montlake Fill and merge with NE 45th St. You will quickly approach a five-way intersection. At the intersection, turn right onto Mary Gates Memorial Drive. The Center for Urban Horticulture is two long blocks down on the right. There is plenty of free parking at the facility. We use the main meeting room, the backside of which faces the road. Bus numbers 25, 65, and 75 all stop at NE 45th and Mary Gates Memorial Drive.
