Hi INWBers & Tweets -

Have you seen any of these birds in these counties this year? We are
nearing the end of another year of the cumulative county year list
project, and with the encouragement of a couple other county listers,
I decided to put together the following list of "most likely to have
been seen" birds, still missing from the various county lists.

The list is a little long, but if you have been out and about in the
state, you may be able to help us build a more complete picture of
what has been seen arouind the state. The following list covers
Eastern WA.

See a bird on the list you have seen? Go to
http://wabirder.com/bartel.html to find the email of the person
compiling for the county in question, and send him or her the details
on your sighting. If you enjoy this sort of exercise, you can
download a more complete version of the yearlist at that site and
look for more species you can add to the lists. Thanks!

We update these lists every 2 months, so Im sure some of these
species have been seen in the weeks since our last update. But there
are a lot of relatively common species yet to be recorded across the
state.
