To place a message on the Birdbox via email: send the message as
you want it read to Hal Opperman, halop at accessone.com with a cc to the person

Sunday, June 21, 4:48 PM. Hi. This is Rick Romea (206) 523-5831. Today at
around 4 o'clock I saw a BLACK TERN at the pond by the prison farm out by
Duvall. Thank you.

Tuesday, June 23, 1:43 PM. Hi. Tom Aversa. (206) 782-7342. Today I went to
look for Bill Tweit's LEAST FLYCATCHER just north of the town of Rainier in
Thurston County, Weir(?) Prairie [the DeLorme calls it Tenalquot Prairie].
Anyway, I didn't find it but I did find a different bird, a CLAY-COLORED
SPARROW singing on the, basically, I guess it would be, the west side of the
prairie and it was about a mile north of 123rd. Go up the dirt road north
right where Military Road takes the bend and becomes 123rd - a mile north
approximately or a little less. It was about three dead firs about 25 feet. It
was singing in that area on the west side of the prairie. Good birding.
