Here is the summary of my morning dogwalks from NW Seblar Terrace
to the Pittock Mansion for the week 04/22/10 to 04/28/10.  Species
neither seen nor heard the previous week are in ALL CAPS.

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

We did the walk only 2 days (4/27 & 28) this week. 

This Friday, Lillian (the dog) and I will be leading the Morning 
Bird Song Walk at the Pittock Mansion.  These walks, sponsored by
Portland Audubon, are free and begin at 7AM at the Pittock Mansion
parking lot.  The walks last about 2 hours, but you're free to 
leave whenever you need to.  For more information, see
