At the mouth of the Tucannon River there was 1 female Bufflehead, and just upstream where the road crosses the river going east was
a Harris's Sparrow. This is only the 2'nd record for Columbia County that I am aware of.

At Little Goose Dam the 3'rd year Western Gull is still there after 2 weeks. It is flying below the dam itself with 35 other gulls.
Stands out by its very dark back and no white windows in the tips of the wings.

Let me know if anyone else birds this area,
