(Martyn:
Do you also have a lot of Pacific Madrone? Western Hemlock? Big Leaf
Maple?
Fraser Fir?)
Douglas Fir, Mountain Hemlock, Ponderosa Pine, Lodgepole pine, Sitka
spruce, Western larch, Western red cedar, and Big leaf Maple are our
main trees Marty. The Madrone is more so the further you go down south,
although we do have a fair few pockets of them.
We do get a hell of a lot of Swainson=92s Thrushes from May onwards until
about September too. Funny you say also Lake Sammamish, I live about =BD a
mile from the lake, maybe I can see your in-law=92s from here :-)

Martyn

When I did many of my recordings for EnjoyBirds in Redmond, WA, in 1996
-
99 at my in-laws' house on Lake Samamish I noticed higher altitude birds
singing at sea level - especially Swainson's Thrush, which sounds
(second
two songs on the software) as if it could be another species, almost,
from
Catharus ustulatus on the East Coast (first two songs on the software).
In
New England this bird is usually heard at higher altitudes (2000 - 3500
ft), but I think as you go northeast to where the confers take over
along
the coast of Maine they probably sing also at sea level, now that I
think
more about it.
