Thank you. Glenn Dear Secretary Zinke, We would love to have you join us on our annual Theodore Roosevelt Island Bird Walk on Wednesday 9 May 2018 at 7:00 am. We meet at the pedestrian bridge that goes over to the island. This is the best time of the year for bird watching as the Neotropical Migratory Songbirds are coming back from Latin America. The walk lasts for about an hour to an hour and a half and we have seen as many as 50 species of birds in that short timeframe including 17 species of warblers. The walk is generally 110-15 folks from conservation organizations and agencies. At the DU dinner in DC 2 weeks ago I invited both Reps Rob Wittman and Mike Thompson from the MBCC and they both expressed interest in attending. Greg Sheehan is planning to attend.I am sure you have been on the island and seen the monuments to TR which are very inspiring. Hope you can join us. All the best, Glenn Olson Donal O'Brien Chair in Bird Conservation National Audubon Society 916-952-0632 North American Wetlands Conservation Act Council Member
