newsletter
Volume 1-15, 1993-2007
In 1992, Scott Ray and Ken Knittle began newsletter as an additional resource for birders interested in
adding to their state and county lists and at the same time contributing to the knowledge of Washington's bird distribution.
The primary thrust of the newsletter was to promote birding exploration of the entire state by publishing site guides to lesser
known and under-birded places in the state, to document bird occurrence and abundance with the development of county checklists
for all 39 counties and to provide a place where annual list total reports could be published. The first issue of was a six page,
stapled, black-and-white photocopied newsletter that included an introduction to the newsletter, a site guide, a Washington State Checklist, a list of Rare
Birds of Washington, a "1992 Washington Listing Report Form", and a column on "Recent Sightings" of rare regional birds. Volume 15, 2007
concluded publication of the printed format of newsletter and began the introduction of features from the newsletter
to this website. If you were a newsletter subscriber, we are sure you will find this enhanced indices useful.
