I reply, in the National Forest, away from the Recreation Areas.? I attempted to reach Wonder mountain Wilderness over Memorial Day weekend.? The attempt failed, but I did get to see two species which I had previously only heard: Sooty Grouse and Hermit Warbler.? Indeed, to judge by the songs I was hearing, Hermit Warbler must have been one of the most abundant birds in that part of Olympic!
