This too subtly brings up a question that I would like to state
explicitly:

What bird sightings do we (the collective tweeters), consider to be
worth
reporting on tweeters? Do we report everything from "uncommon" to
vagrants?
Interesting interactions?

I rather enjoy the weekly reports we receive from Michael Price, Martin
Muller,
Raymond Korpi, etc. I would like to encourage people to do this, as it
gives
us all an idea of migration patterns as well as avian responses to more
localized
events (like today, the strong south wind has blown a BALD EAGLE over to
the
Martha Lake area; which is in south Snohomish County).

Comments?
