Here is the summary of my morning dogwalks from NW Seblar Terrace
to the Pittock Mansion for the week 08/01/13 to 08/07/13. Species
neither seen nor heard the previous week 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 only 3 days this week. This is quite possibly the
worst (i.e., lowest diversity) week I've ever recorded--in any season.
Construction noise at 3 sites along the walk, including the Mansion
itself, is definitely a factor. None of my walks this week were on
the weekend, when the birding has generally been much better.
