Was Wilson’s Warbler found in West Seattle?

I don’t know the specifics but Mark pretty much only sends us birds photographed in WS.

Yes, there are a lot of warblers around and moving through W.S. now.Like Tracy said, I send her my West Seattle stuff. That limits me. I often have really nice stuff from, say, Eastern Washington or British Columbia, that you do not see. Recently I photographed Tufted Puffins. Not West Seattle.

Thanks, but also note that info is available via BirdWeb (Audubon) as linked in the photo caption – I try to do that as much as possible. They also have range maps, audio, and pics. – TR
