I have three Western Washington ROCK WREN records, two from Clark
County. The first was from Silver Star Mountain on July 23, 1999 of a
bird carrying food to nestlings in a rock formation. The second Clark
County sighting was on September 12, 1999 on a pile of gravel at a home
being constructed above the Steigerwald Lake Refuge near Washougal.
The third sighting was on a pelagic trip out of Westport that I have
located the notes yet to put into my computer.
