Dear Bob and Mary: I finally got to check e-mail, and look whose =

I found. You got connected to Tweeters. Yes, you can see crossbills =

a DeLorme? If so, see p. l00, C l. Paradise Hill Rd. is paved as far =
as the
turn off for Rat Lake. Con't. another 5 miles, uphill (may meet logging =
truck;=20
but we haven't lately.) Road is dusty. There will be a mobile home on =
left and
a road going off to right labeled Hooker Creek Rd. Drive in about l/8 =
mile and park
in the shade and look. We have seen: Crossbills, Wh. Breasted =
Nuthatches, Mt.

Chickadees
flycatchers, Williamson's Sapsuckers. House Wrens,. After I send this =
I'll think of
others we've seen there. Back in Brewster, if you cross their bridge =

Bridgeport you will be driving along the Columbia. There are several =

Subject: advice for new birders

1. how long might one expect the elegant terns and brown pelicans to be
in residence at Ocean Shores, et al.?
2. when might one expect the arrival of the long-billed curlew, said in
literature to be seen at Tokeland?
3. if swifts, red crossbills, dippers so far not seen in Olympics or
Rainier, again as lit suggests, where is best chance; difficult terrain
not an option.
4. re backyard birds in Bridgeport, are there really bluebirds and
crossbills in residence?? what else is easily seen in that area, coming
via Steven Pass area, thence north and east?

Thank you: Robert Dunnell, Shoreline, WA (dunnell at u.washington.edu)
