> My name is Oz Horine, a keen Israeli birder who is travelling to Seattle area (Kent) for business. (Probably two short visits: one at mid June and the other on the beginning of July).

> I'm not sure yet about my schedule, but for start I'm planning to bird before and after working hours on each day of these 2 business trips (so looking for birding sites close to Seattle). Hopefully I'll be able to add full birding days or a weekend but I'm not sure yet (than I can also bird in a few hours drive remote sites).

> I have some experience with birding in Americas (South California in the winter, a few days in PA and GA, and a few days in Mexico, Brazil & Peru).

> I followed the annual checklist on http://www.birdweb.org/birdweb/ecoregion/sites/puget_trough/site and also the Recent eBird Sightings on http://www.birdingwashington.info/ and picked a wishlist for what I would like to see in WA. Beside all birds, I have a great interest in Owls, so first I will kindly ask for help with directions to locations where I can find the Owls from the below list. My second priority (but still a highly ranked one?) would be the same info for the other birds on this list:
