Subject: Pittock, NW Portland, week ending 10/31/12

Here is the summary of my morning dogwalks from NW Seblar Terrace
to the Pittock Mansion for the week 10/25/12 to 10/31/12.
Species neither seen nor heard the previous week are in ALL CAPS
(of little significance owing to last week having only 3 walks).

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