BRAMBLING SEEN IN UCLUELET

Just received a report, Monday April 14 2008, of a BRAMBLING visiting a backyard on the Pacific Rim highway in Ucluelet. The Brambling is an Eurasian species that makes occasional visits along the west coast down into the northern states. In the past there have been other sightings of Brambling on Vancouver Island, in Campbell River, Port Alberni, and Tofino.
