My nemesis birds are Greater Pewee, missed it every time I?ve been to SE Arizona. Also, Spruce Grouse. I really don?t think they exist!

I must say, with me using Ebird and checking Tweeters on a regular basis, I've been able to find many birds, both common and rare for the area, that I likely would have never seen on my own. However, there are a few species that still elude me.



I already mentioned that I have yet to add Long-billed Curlew to my WA state list, but other birds include Canvasback, American Bittern (for Pierce County), Common Tern, and Western Kingbird here in Western WA. I've missed a few rarities too, such as the Great-tailed Grackle seen in Fife last year. I tried several times but never saw that bird! Oh well, someday, I'll see these birds. :)
