The Washington BirdBox is a voice mailbox sponsored by the Washington
Ornithological Society. To leave a message about a notable sighting, or
to listen to the most recent messages, call (206) 454-2662 and follow
the prompts. First-time BirdBox users may find it convenient, before
calling, to review the status of Washington's chickadee species.

The Washington Ornithological Society would like to see the BirdBox
become a statewide aid to Birders. One of the reasons for this transcription
is as a service to those outside the local calling area and for people living
outside WA who are interested for whatever reason. We would like to offer an
email transcription service to anyone with a message for the BirdBox. (The
email will be placed as a phone message as well as an errorfree message on
the transcription). Send your message to halop at u.washington.edu with cc to
norton360 at aol.comand and subplot at u.washington.edu (the cc are in case Hal
Opperman is out of town and the only cc really necessary is to whoever is
transcribing at the time you submit the message). Those active birders who
are also TWEETERS subscribers living outside the (206) area are requested to
let their non TWEETERS birding friends know this service is available andto
offer to post the message for them.

correct spellings of peoples names or place names, I am trying to keep a
list of correct spellings so those corrections would be appreciated).
