Hello Tweets,

The GREEN-TAILED TOWHEE was again seen and photographed today at the
previous location at the Skagit WRA betwween 7:55am-11:15am by several WA
birders and 1 BC birder. The bird remains along the center hedgerow approx.
1/4 mile S from Wiley Rd. and feeds loosely with Song and W.C. Sparrows
on the west side of the east cornfield near a small island of brambles and
a small foot bridge. A Harris' Sparrow was also observed and photographed
at 8:40am-9:30am at this location by Gary Bletsch,
Ian McGregor, and I, as we watched the towhee. Other notable species
included: 2 W.T. Sparrows,2 Am.Tree Sparrows, 1 Merlin, 1 Cooper's and
Sharp-shinned Hawk. There are a good gathering of sparrows in the general
vicinity with a total of 13 species tallied.
