Hello, Tweeters,

I'm relaying a message below from Denny Van Horn, who is birding right
now at the west end of Clallam County. Denny is doing a big year in
Clallam County, having seen an wonderful variety of birds so far, many
at under-birded places like Lake Ozette, Waatch Valley, Shi-Shi Beach,
and the Quillayute River.
