I'm wondering if somewhere out there is an all-in-one guide to W Wash/Salish Sea area/Seattle bird phenology. I have Morse et al.'s Birds of the Puget Sound Region, Hunn's Birding in Seattle and King County, and Fisher's Birds of Seattle-;all excellent guides for their own purposes, but none of which includes the kind of chronology I'm looking for.

The Burke Museum has a nicely done summary of first-egg dates for local species here <https://www.burkemuseum.org/sites/default/files/2019-07/BreedingPhenologyProject_sm.pdf>, and Seattle Audubon's BirdWeb <http://www.birdweb.org/birdweb/birds> has tons of useful information, but it'd be great to have more detailed phenology data. Of course I can look up phenology online on a species-by-species basis, and there are some rich databases out there, but I'd love to get a single guide that shows all local species' annual patterns for nest-building, egg-laying, fledging, migration, etc. I'm picturing something like a bar chart for each species with Jan-Dec along the top line, and lower lines for each behavior, but I'll take whatever I can get. 😊
