[Tweeters] Band-tailed Pigeon in Okanogan County

[Carl Haynie]

Good to know, Dennis! They *are* rare there. While leading a WOS field trip
on 24 June 2013, my party was lucky to find one perched on a snag near
Chesaw 1.25 miles up Mary Ann Creek Rd from its int. with Chesaw Rd. It is
the only record I see in eBird anywhere around there in the last ten years.
