Dear Tweeters - Several topics today. First, it's always great to see Gary Bletsch's name on a Tweeters message. The more we hear from him, the better, even though he has decamped to a far-away place.
Second, the Tweeters Archive has been updated to include all the messages sent in the year 2025. The archive now includes all messages from 1994 through 2025.
You can both search and browse the messages. The archive is paid for and sponsored by the Washington Ornithological Society (WOS).
The University of Washington hosts the Tweeters site, and volunteers Elaine Chuang and Doug Santoni manage the mailing list. However, the UW retains messages for only two years; hence, the need for the archive.
Third, WOS has offered a number of field trips this year. Three of them are filled, but two field trips are still available and more might be added. Keep current on WOS field trips at:
Next, the USA County Checklists program on the WOS website has been updated with some bug fixes. This web page allows you to download a checklist for any county in the US. You can choose between two printable formats.
Finally, Elaine Thomas has asked for recommendations of "high-yield" birding spots in order to plan a birding itinerary for an out-of-town visitor. I would like to recommend WOS's free online bird-finding guide: A Birder's Guide to Washington, Second Edition.
