Here is the summary of my morning dogwalks from NW Seblar Terrace
to the Pittock Mansion for the week 06/05 to 06/11/08. 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, 6/8-6/11.  On 6/9 we did a second
walk in the afternoon, designated "PM" in the list.

Today I had the pleasure of being accompanied by George Fenwick; 
good guy, good birder, and founder and president of an outstanding 
organization: the American Bird Conservancy.  If you don't know 
about them, check out their website at http://www.abcbirds.org/
