Hi Tweeters,
 

Gary Bletsch's email to Tweeters on May 27 reminds me that it'stime to post my annual request for information on nesting colonies of BankSwallows in western Washington.  Kelly McAllister and I have been conductingan inventory of colonies in this part of the state since 2014.  We're interested in obtaining breeding colonyrecords from birders who haven't already posted their observations oneBird.  We'd like to receive information on the locations of colonies (asexact as possible so that we can visit the sites), as well as dates visited andnumbers of burrows counted for 2020 or any past years.  Data from pastyears will help inform us of how long specific sites have been occupied. So far, nearly all of our known colonies are located in the counties flankingthe western Cascades, thus we're especially interested in hearing about sitespresent in Pacific, Wahkiakum, Grays Harbor, Mason, Kitsap, Jefferson, Clallam,Island, and San Juan counties.  Please contact me with your information atwilesharkey at yahoo.com .  Thanks for your help.
