I like the Dead Whale List idea. I saw two White Wagtails on a dead whale
in NW Alaska once (actually I think they bred in it, which would be a
REALLY neat list), but a condor would be great.
There is a superb book available:
California Condors in the Pacific Northwest
Jesse D'Elia and Susan M. Haig. Foreword by Noel Snyder
6 × 9 inches. Black and white photographs and illustrations. 184 pages.
2013. ISBN 978-0-87071-700-0. Paperback, $19.95.
OSU Press
The really good news is that this book does not mention Swainson's Thrush
at all. I know, I was the proofreader. Pretty sure there is no mention
of Semipalmated Plover either. It DOES mention dead whales.
