Dear Tweeters,

I have been trying to get into the Floridabirds listserve for a few days now. I suspect it would be easier to get Vladimir Putin's autograph on a baseball than to penetrate the security enveloping Floridabirds! We are lucky to have a relatively easy interface on Tweeters.

Jim McCoy and I birded Wells Wildlife Area on Saturday afternoon (11-20-2010). We found a female Western Bluebird. Only today did I notice that this is a fairly rarish bird in Douglas County.

We also found 19 Euro Collared Doves along SR 153 between Twisp and Carlton.

Yours truly,
