Here is the summary of my morning dogwalks from NW Seblar Terrace
to the Pittock Mansion for the week 12/18 to 12/24/08.  Species in
ALL CAPS were neither seen nor heard the previous week.

We did the walk 7 days this week but several days the walk was cut
short (snow too deep for a small black dog).
