Michael and Tweets,

I'm passing along this request in hopes more of you out there in tweeterland
might respond to Mr Duffy's request. I'm a bit rusty myself on where the
current hotspots are. For King County I will recommend he buy my aged but
still quite accurate book, "Birding in Seattle and King County," available
through ABA, or here at the Univ Book Store, Audubon Society store, of Flora
and Fauna downtown, for $7.50 cheap. Discovery Park can be good for half a
day and combined with the Montlake Fill, Foster Is., and the Arboretum
should provide a nice mix. We don't have any real Washington state endemics,
but if its western specialities your after, you might expect to see VG
Swallows, Steller's Jays, semi-Northwestern Crows, Black-throated Gray
Warblers, Townsends', MacGillivray's, Hammond's and Pacific Slope
Flycatchers, etc. Best check out the book or send us a list of high priorities.

Gene Hunn.
