Once again Bill and I have travelled all over Washington to find birds that are rare, birds we haven’t seen in a while, or birds that we like! I have gathered these together in a Flickr album which you can access here:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal> <span style='font-size:14.0pt'><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/29258421@N07/albums/72177720313129663">https://www.flickr.com/photos/29258421@N07/albums/72177720313129663</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:16.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><span style='font-size:16.0pt'>I tried to be selective in choosing the birds to include here, but there are still over 100 photos! Quite a few pictures are from Snohomish County, our home location. Beyond that, we looked for birds in just about every corner of the state but the northwest. The lack of good ferry service has made a less wonderful destination. The information about each bird—name, location of photo and date, is below each picture.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><span style='font-size:16.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><span style='font-size:16.0pt'>We wish you all a warm and dry holiday season and good birding in the New Year.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:16.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:16.0pt'>Charlotte Byers, Edmonds<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
