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

Tomorrow, Thursday, May 28, Lillian (the dog) and I will be leading the last of this season’s Morning Birdsong Walks at the Pittock Mansion.  Sponsored by Portland Audubon, the walks are free and open to all.  No registration required.  Meet at the Pittock Mansion parking lot at 7AM.  The walks last about 2 hours, but you’re free to leave whenever you need.
