Hi Tweeters & Inland-NW-Birders -

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 February. Moving forward,
county compilers, especially for the underbirded counties, would
appreciate receiving reports of any birds seen in their counties.

The posted version of the list only covers results through the
beginning of March -- at this point, many counties are over 100
species with many/most of the winter species found. Now comes the big
spring influx that will keep things interesting.

As of the end of February 246 species had been reported across the
state, 216 species just in western WA.

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.
