We walk our dogs in a large DNR tract the entrance to which is about a
hundred feet west of the Valley View - H Street Road intersection on the
north side of H Street Road. Heard White-Crownd Sparrows there last night,
but sounding like they do when they're abut (Canadian spelling) done. FYI
every time we do this we trip the little gizmo's that let the INS know to
check these folks out. I assume we do, anyway, since we always see a Border
Patrol SUV or the helicopter comes over low. The birding is usually good in
this large tract (a failed Japanese development of considerable size
running for several miles east from the developed east side of Blaine
between H Street Road and the border).
