No birds are ubiquitous, and so all must be rare somewhere. And only a few are rare everywhere. For Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California, I recommend: RARE BIRDS OF THE WEST COAST, by Don Roberson. Published 1980, Woodcock Publications, Pacific Grove, California. ISBN 0-9605352-0-9. Hope you can find a copy. It is excellent, with maps and 'date-charts' for species occurring an average of 4 times per year or fewer in any western state/province. David M.
