There was a message about this bird from Steve Mlodinow (sp?) on the
BirdBox yesterday. It was described as being in *adult* plumage.
According to Paulson 1993, a couple of records of July Sharp-tailed in
Cascadia/PNW were probably adults, though they were not distinguished as
such in original reports, nor photographed. The bird was on the SE
corner of Crockett lake. If it is indeed hanging around, someone
please let us know...
