Hi everyone:
Thought many of you might be interested in these two items.

1) Today's NY Times includes an article on the fact that bird flu has not
been found in migrating birds this spring. Here's a link. You might need to
be a subscriber in order to view it, but give it a try:

2) If you didn't hear KUOW's Weekday program yesterday, you might want to
listen to it on the archives:

Local bird recordist, Martin Stewart, is featured and discusses his
recordings of birds in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge and ANWR's
importance to migratory birds, among other things. Great stuff!
