Bob and all:

There are breeding-season records of this subspecies down the outer coast
as far as Point Grenville (see the Gap volume on breeding birds of
Washington, incorporating breeding bird atlas data, now being printed,
which should be on the shelves of A Bookstore Near You by August; reserve
your copy now!). Oone or two singing individuals were observed at Point
Grenville during the WOS conference field trip last September.
