Hello Tweeters,

One of my New Years resolutions is to see Blue Grouse and Flammulated Owl in
2002, and WA just may be the best place to do that. These are the last 2
breeding birds in the lower 48 that I have yet to see and I am ready to make
a special trip to see either or both.

Any suggestions would be appreciated as to the best approach, time of year,
places (stake-outs), people to contact, etc. For example, when the grouse
begin to boom in April, I think it is, is there a place to go where they may
be seen farily easily, or is it better to wait until the summer to see them
with chicks, or better yet, does someone know of a tree where they are
roosting.

Any help appreciated.
