I am planning a trip to the state from 6-20 Sept. and have not found any
sources for relevant bird checklists where the seasonal abundances are
given. I have the MacRae book, but so far have not been able to get the
Wahl/Paulson book since the local sources and the ABA are out of stock.

Since time is getting short are there any Internet sources where I can
get such lists?

My plan is to do a loop around the Cascades, maybe into Vancouver then
around the Olympic Peninsula. Since I am not a greatly experienced
birder, my wish list is long. But I realize that there is no point in
chasing for birds which are unlikely to be found at that time of year.

Crested Myna-I understand that this bird can be found in the Vancouver
area. Would that be true for September and where would I look?

Northwestern Crow-the National Geographic Guide is not very specific on
the range of this bird and since it only distinguished from the American
Crow by range, how does one determine the correct range?

Thanks for your help,
