But, in comparison with most of my sightings, these Anis looked almost gaudy. Black-chested Sparrow is one of Paso Ancho’s flagship species. And I, for one, choose not to let the lack of a few species ruin my enjoyment of many more. Later in the morning, the light got better, and so did my photos. A Golden Vireo showed up.

For comparison , the System is much smaller than the Bureau of Land Management (about 247 million) and the Forest Service (192 million), but slightly larger than the National Park Service (80 million).

Pigeon Guillemot Cepphus columba both above and below Glaucous-winged Gull Larus glaucescens both above and below Beyond those birds we didn’t see many species at all unless we were in one of Seattle’s many fine parks.

The species name athertoni is derived from Lt. He also served with the 13th Light Dragoons, fighting with them at Waterloo (though he can only have been about 18 at that point – I guess child protection laws were somewhat lax at that time). Of course, the same applies to pizza services for humans.
