Hello Hal & Tweeters,
It is so good that Hal mention the Birders Guide to Washington,Birders always ask us how come you know all the dates if ask.If it wasn't for the first Guide by Terence Wahl &Terrence Wahl,how we would know this dates when this birds arrive and when there leaving (late dates)With out exception and this you would find in Fieldnotes.It take a lot of birding to keep this dates in you head.This is also how you bird in order to get some of this birds early what can really surprise some.Also this goes for the rarities when would there come true to migrate south and maybe stop to rest or to refuel.I recommend this new update guide for every birder including the planning of a good birding trip.
