Here is the summary of my morning dogwalks from NW Seblar Terrace to the 
Pittock Mansion for the week 4/10/14 to 4/16/14.  Species neither seen nor 
heard the previous week (a "short" week with only 3 walks) are in ALL CAPS.

Additional information about my dogwalk, including an archive of weekly 
summaries and a checklist, may be found at 
http://www.hevanet.com/winkg/dogwalkpage.html

The sightings are also in eBird.

We did the walk 6 days this week.

This Friday, Lillian (the dog) and I will be leading another Morning Bird Song 
Walk, sponsored by Portland Audubon.  The walk begins at 7AM at the Pittock 
Mansion parking lot and lasts about 2 hours--but you're free to leave whenever 
you need.  Free, open to the public, no pre-registration required.
