Here is the summary of my morning walks from NW Seblar Terrace to the Pittock Mansion for the week 6/25/15 to 7/1/15.  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.

I did the walk 3 days this week.

This past week marked the completion of 15 years of dog walks.  As I mentioned last week, Lillian (the dog) has retired from the long walk to the Mansion.  She only goes for a short spin to accomplish her prime objective, but I continue the full walk.  She trained me well.
