I heard two gambelli singing the week before last. And, yes, many
pugetensis in the last week. Interesting and fun to listen for the
different dialects.

By the way, I had a Western class that studied local dialects and
anyone
headed to Seattle might be interested to know that you cross a dialect
boundary around Kingston. The big city Seattle birds talk different
than
they do up here - fun to listen for.
