Ospreyers, Has anyone in the group spent much time birding Seattle/Vancouver? I'll be heading out there in mid-August to do a little bit of birding as well as some general touring around. I'll be in Victoria for a couple of days as well as Uclulet/Tofino (Pacific Rim NP) for a couple more. I should have at least one full day to bird the Seattle area. We'll be travelling the ferries and possibly taking some whale watches (I hope to see at least a few seabirds). Also any recommended reading would be appreciated. Many thanks! Tom Harten Bowie, MD
