Dear Tweeters subscribers. As part of the species account for Western
Scrub-Jay in the Birds of Washington, I am developing a table that
illustrates the timing of their range expansion. I have compiled the
following table, primarily from North American Birds (and its predecessors)
and WOSNews, showing the first date that scrub-jays have been reported from
new localities. Can you please check this table, and see if you have earlier
dates for the localities shown, or can add additional localities? I'm
particularly interested in adding localities from the interior and from
Jefferson, Mason, Clallam counties. If can provide assistance with this,
please e-mail me at sebnabgill at aol.com. Thank you very much,

Bill Tweit
