Here is the summary of my morning dogwalks from NW Seblar Terrace
to the Pittock Mansion for the week 05/08 to 05/14/08. Species in
ALL CAPS were neither seen nor heard the previous week.

Additional information about my dogwalk, including an archive of
weekly summaries and a checklist, may be found at

We did the walk 4 days this week.  On 5/13 we did an additional
afternoon walk (denoted "PM").  Today's (5/14) walk was cut short
owing to a "private function" that closed down the entire park, 
including all roads and trails to the Mansion.
