I've just today returned from my trip to your neck of the woods, and
thanks to all of you who offered suggestions beforehand. Special thanks
to Robert Taylor (from Tacoma, who led us around the greater Seattle to
Tacoma area) and Larry Cowan (Vancouver, BC) who each gave so much of
his time and expertise.

My wife and I came home with 5 and 4 lifers, repectively. That includes
Northwest Crow for my wife and Marbled Murrelet, Cassin's Auklet,
Crested Mynah, and American Dipper for both of us.

As Arnold once said, "I'll be back",

If any of you ever venture down this way (California's Central Coast,
Morro Bay to Santa Barbara), give me an e-mail jingle.
