Sorry for the late reply to this thread--I've been out of town. When I
was in Pullman, I generally started seeing the first few Bohemians in the
space between Thanksgiving and the end of November. As Dale points out,
they are generally more common after the first, but if you're on a
Christams vacation sprint, they are seeable before this. One Xmas Count,
I had a count of 555 (an easily remembered number) primarily in the SE
section of Pullman--they were often better found in this section of town
and in the NW area. I never saw as many on the parts of campus where I
was (Avery Hall). RK
