Hi Tweeters & Inland NW Birders - [feel free to forward to the local lists too]


An updated version of the 2009 county year list project is up at
Washington Birder. We've received updates from almost all the
counties with details through the end of June. County compilers,
especially for the underbirded counties, would appreciate receiving
reports of any birds seen in their counties.

The posted version of the list covers results through the beginning of July.
As of the end of June, the state list total was at 358, with Western
WA at 318 species, and Eastern WA at 300. Eighteen counties [out of
39] have recorded over 200 species, and all are over 100 by now.
Eurasian Collared-Dove has made an appearance in 31 of the state's
counties so far this year....

If you'd like to take a look at where things stand, the list and many
other interesting files are at the Washington Birder website:

Thanks to all the compilers and all those pitching in to sketch a
picture of another year's birds in WA.
