Here is the summary of my morning dogwalks from NW Seblar Terrace
to the Pittock Mansion for the week 05/27/10 to 06/02/10.  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 3 days this week with 2 walks on 6/2.  The
second, afternoon walk is designated "PM".

This Friday, Lillian (the dog) and I will be leading the last of
this year's Morning Bird Song Walks 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 the rain gets to be too much
for you.  For more information, see
