With rain poetry, rain gear fashion show, music (about rain?), hot drinks (they\'re wet!), and a rain prediction at noon, this event is all about the weather we love and that makes the PNW home.

February 5, 12, 19, 26: HAWKWATCHING IN NORTHWEST WASHINGTON Bud Anderson of Falcon Research is a national expert in raptor identification and behavior. His five-class series and field trip is the leading raptor class in Washington. The class is a true experience-of-a-lifetime for those interested in bird natural history as well as for those who wish to learn more about identification in the field. Live birds are included as a part of the class experience. Bud's knowledge is deep and his teaching style eloquent. He brings a strong enthusiasm and caring to his descriptions and stories about raptors and their lives. It's a great way to liven up the dreary winter months. The all-day field trip will bring many sightings: it may include seeing all five species of falcons as well as eagles, harriers, and several species of accipiters and buteos. Field trips are offered on several weekend dates during the run of the class.

Tell all your friends and co-workers to come, too! We'll be meeting at a new location for February; Green Frog Acoustic Tavern which serves up a healthy list of beers, wine and hard cider, and has a great casual atmosphere. Green Drinks is an organic networking session that started in London, England and has since caught fire around the world. Like-minded individuals in places from Hong Kong to India, Sweden to South Africa meet every month to catch-up, network and talk about the latest green issues. According to greendrinks.org, "These events are very simple and unstructured, but many people have found employment, made friends, developed new ideas, done deals and had moments of serendipity." The best part about Green Drinks is that there is no structure, just good people meeting at a regular place and time. Visit www.greendrinks.org to see the rave reviews from Green Drinkers across the planet! Time: 5:00 - 7:00 pm Location: Green Frog Acoustic Tavern, 902 N.
