I will be going to Seattle for a Conference from 4/25-5/3 and will have a few days in there to do what I like. Does anyone have any suggestions for birding in the area. Any good cruises in the strait or the sound. I have never birded anywhere in the west except the Portland area for a few days when I had to go for a wedding last year, around the same time. I am not looking for anything in particular, but anything you would suggest would be helpful. I'm not finding very good web sites for locations and maps, or best locations, etc... Thanks to all, and merry birding! Christine Taylor Reston, VA ctaylor@seamail.nos.noaa.gov or chrisndave@erols.com
