Tweeters,

Without Paul's permission I am forwarding his post of the Seattle RBA report
that he posted to Birdwest today. I hope that he will reconsider when things
quiet down and will return to copying Tweeters his report. I am sorry for
whatever part I may have had in this decision.

Great birding and find that next lifer,

John (One of Birders2)

John + Irma = 2, we are birders, too.
