There was a post on Tweeters about this several weeks ago, but I wanted to remind everyone that everything in Flora and Fauna Books (in Pioneer Square in downtown Seattle) is 20 percent off. The sale is in honor of the 20th anniversary of the store, and lasts through Saturday, May 24. In addition, all of the Helm's guides (monographs of different species groups, such as Skuas and Jaegers, New World Blackbirds, and Rails of the World) are 30 percent off. What a deal!

Rumor has it that many of the region's top birders have been spotted there recently.
