I'm sure there have been more than a dozen sightings in the last ten years in W WA.

There has been a single male twice at our house in Preston - one 2 years ago and the other about 5 years ago. We only saw him once each time so never posted it.

They are extremely rare in Western, WA with fewer than a dozen observations in last 10 years all at low elevations. They are regular and common in many areas in Eastern Washington well below 4000'.
