Hi all,

A couple more species to add to the Pacific Lutheran University list
(lifers in CAPS):

Winter Wren Troglodytes troglodytes
HAMMOND'S FLYCATCHER Empidonax hammondii
WESTERN TANAGER Piranga ludoviciana
(everyone else around here has been seeing tanagers; I figured it was
about my turn :-)

Also, while I was out today I heard a new call, way up in a Douglas fir
tree. It went something like, "W"WHEE [risin, tew, tew, tew!" I have
heard Bewick's Wrens give similar calls, but this one was LOUD--sounded
like an air raid siren.

Later,
