Tweets,

I'm working on revising my 1982 _Birding in Seattle and King County_. The
first step is to update the list of ultrararities, in particular, species
added to the county list since 1982 (somewhat more than 40 species added to
the 307 listed then). If you're interested, please check the attached list.
If you have personal knowledge of sightings of any of the italicized, bold,
or underlined species or species not listed, please pass along details
(date, location, observers, notes) to me at enhunn at home.com. Thanks.
