<div> </div>
<div>Sorry for the late report but my elkhound has been in the hospital for a while and we're still getting things squared away. Thanks, as always, for the reports. No e-bird reports included this time. To the two gentlemen who think my reports are a "waste of time' - please just pass them by. Vultures do have lots of fans! Anyway, this is the report for May 2023 for Washington state.</div>
