And (fairly) soon Ellen Ratoosh's article about Montlake Fill birds will be
published in Washington Birds. She had even more observations than Kevin.
By the way, I was only the photographer for, not the author of the original
article that Stuart mentioned.

I hope there are takers for Stuart's wish, as it would be of greatest value
to continue to document the avifauna of this changing environment. Who
knows--maybe the Montlake Fill list will surpass that of the Farallon
Islands someday.
