Hi Tweets:

An East Lake Washington Audubon Society field trip to Bob Heirman Wildlife
Area in Snohomish County on Saturday was haunted by the constant call of at
least one Northern Bobwhite that could be heard across the Snohomish River.
The trip list of 41 species included Mourning Dove, great scope looks at both
male and female Northern Harrier (later seen flying to the ground with
nesting material), Bald Eagle, Spotted Sandpiper, Western Tanager, et. al.
An American Bittern gave us an excellent look as it flew for at least 10
seconds above the grass on the south side of the trail near the pond.
