Quickly call up all 32 articles involving the keyword "Washington" from Western Birds, ranging from Terry Wahl's account of a Short-tailed Albatross record in 1970 to Christopher Thompson et al's description of a Long-billed Murrelet record from eastern Washington in 2003. For those of you not familiar with SORA, this is an amazing resource.
