Here for your amusement is the summary of my morning dogwalks from 
NW Seblar Terrace to the Pittock Mansion for the week 1/16/14 to 
1/22/14.  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

http://www.hevanet.com/winkg/dogwalkpage.html

The sightings are also in eBird.

We did the walk 5 days this week.  This is the first full week 
doing the walk with hearing aids.  It will be interesting to 
see if the apparent decrease in many species over the years is
real or, let's hope, only the result of my hearing loss.
