Hello Tweets,

On May 26th I observed an ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHER briefly at 8:30am at
Packwood,LE, which is a quality bird anywhere west of the Cascades. In
Yakima Co. I observed the LEAST FLYCATCHER as previously reported at the

D.Flycatchers, 1 H.Flycatcher, 1 P.S/CORDILLERAN type Flycatcher, 12 Bank
Swallows, 1 L.Shrike, and 1 LINCOLN'S SPARROW. I birded Toppenish N.W.R. at
