Hi Tweeters,
So who knows where Yellepit is? Yesterday my Lewis & Clark group
ventured out there to see one of the least-visited Lewis & Clark
campsites. Yellepit is on the western shore of the Columbia River,
across from the Walla Walla delta. We had a great view across, and also
of Wallula Gap.
While we were there getting cheat grass in our socks, a few birds flew
by. There was a WESTERN KINGBIRD, a DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT, and an
OSPREY. And, of course, everywhere the songs of WESTERN MEADOWLARKS.
Not a lot of birds, but all were in flight and in a magnificent
setting.
