Hi Tweeters,

Yesterday I took a group of Mountaineers up, up, and up Snoquera
Palisades (above Highway 410 on the road to Mount Rainier NP). We got to
an early start and hoped to see something.

We only saw ONE hummingbird.....briefly at the second lookout. The
weather was perfect for hiking ,but I guess lousy for even the most
casual birding.


No Jays of any color or stripe. No raptors. At about a 5,000 foot level
I thought we'd be dive-bombed by the Clark's and Grays. Nooooooo.

We heard only a few, perhaps Towhees.

But sheesh......where were the birds?
