We have Vaux's swifts in North Central WA- Leavenworth & Wenatchee areas.

On another note...
The juncos with the white plumage anomalies (partial albinism?) are back. My
wife banded one yesterday. That makes 9 different juncos with unusual white
plumage patches that we have observed.
She also observed a red-breasted sapsucker on our suet feeder. A somewhat rare
occurance for our area.
