Paul, Sorry you had only 90 species for all the rain that befell you. As
a life member of LESSER SEATTLE I will forward your glowing testimony of
our fine weather to any new subscriber to Birdchat who innocently asks
about birding in the Northwest. I am sure that you now will understand
why on some days the noise on "tweeters" is greater than all of
"chatterland", we are just unable to get out to birdwatch unless we own
GorTex and Polar fleece. ; )
