The BRAMBLING in Portland was seen on the 5th and 6th. On the Sixth, it
was SOUTH of Tacoma (Ave?), which is the main street several blocks south
of Sellwoon Park. The bird has been seen all the way to the Oaks Bottom
Bluff, and all the way east to 13th (in fact on the other side of 13th).
It has been tending south of its area earlier in December as noted by its
appearance south of Tacoma this week.

I'll try to forward updates to Tweeters as they come up
