Tweets,
Can anybody who is a bit more familar with Olympic avifauna than me tell
me whether or not Spruce Grouse occur in the Olympics? I've heard rumors
before and how this sighting really makes me wonder. Also could the places
where Cassin's Auklet and Black Tern were seen also be posted? To me these
are all great birds for the Penisula would like to know their locations.
Thanks,
