Hello Richard and Tweeters -

Richard Anderson asked for recommendations for birding the San Juan
Islands next week. A Birder's Guide to Washington, Second Edition
contains just this kind of information. And the guide has now been
placed online, so it is easy to get the information. The guide is at:
http://wabirdguide.org. The San Juan Islands info is at:
http://wabirdguide.org/san-juan-islands/

Also, you can check out recent sightings in the San Juan Islands at:
http://birdingwashington.info/dashboard/wa/

Select San Juan County and then search for sightings by hot spot, by
choosing any location yourself or by species.

Good luck with your birding.

P.S. Birders who are out around the state birding: please go to
http://wabirdguide.org and post your comments if you find any
information of interest to birders about birding locations included in
the book. This can include access either now closed or now open or
otherwise altered, changes to habitat as a result of development or
fires, etc., new species that haven't been previously seen at a
location, parking issues, good viewing spots, etc. Let's keep the
content of the book updated!

P.P.S. You can buy the book at Seattle Audubon's Nature Shop, Powell's
Books, Buteo Books, Amazon.com or other booksellers.
