Steve et al.,

Check out the new sound-to-sage atlas website (http://www.soundtosage.org) for the American Crow. There's a confirmed nesting in Kittitas County at Snoqualmie Pass and a bunch of probable nesting reports all along I-5 up and over Snoqualmie as well as at Stevens Pass. These observations date to 1994-2000.

Subject: [Tweeters] Crows on Passes


Greetings All

So, I've seen crows at Snoqualmie and Stevens Pass this summer. Tom Aversa tells me the Snoqualmie birds have been there for several years.

This is very interesting given all the taxonomic/range issues/discussion re: NW and American Crows.

Can anyone give me insight as to when crows first starting appearing at these two passes. The range of crow has certainly expanded greatly over the last 15 years, something ignored by many of us, yet really it should be of great interest. I've been neglectful in covering this at all in North American Birds and intend to rectify this oversight.

Thanks
