Hi Tweets,

In response to Kelly's questions about Vesper Sparrow sightings in Western
WA:

4 singing at the Weir prairie, Thurston Co., on May 21, 2004
1 singing at the 8th St access of Fort Lewis, Pierce Co., on May 23, 2004
with Bruce LaBar. Since this area is closed to the public, we could only
bird this area by ear and stand at the entrance. The bird was singing from
a small bush in an otherwise remarkably Scot Broom free field. The army
has definitely been working on restoring this prairie.
