-- COFE Annual Meeting 2006 --

The Cooper Ornithological Society will hold its 77th annual meeting 19-23 June 2007 in Moscow, Idaho at the University of Idaho.

Located in North Central Idaho's panhandle, Moscow is cradled between Moscow Mountain and the beautiful rolling hills of the Palouse. The current Moscow community of 22,000 people personifies the image of "small-town" friendliness. In addition to Moscow's small-town charm, this college town also provides a rich assortment of cultural and recreational activities. With a mild climate, clean air, highly rated schools, and a low crime rate, Moscow attracts a diverse group of residents and visitors. We invite you to visit the Palouse and experience this undiscovered paradise. Meeting will be held at the Best Western Inn which is located within walking distance of several restaurants and a mall. Downtown Moscow is a approximately 1.5 miles from the hotel.

 

The theme of the meeting is "Endangered ecosystems and the species therein"
