Dear Tweets,

Janet and I hiked up and around Tiffany Mtn way up north of Winthrop last
Sunday.

On the road up there we saw a Ruffed Grouse. While hiking we passed a
beautiful SPRUCE GROUSE that perched only 10 feet off the trail. Where
was our camera! A Cooper's Hawk swooped by a couple of times.
Descending through some golden larches we were above a large flock of
migrating Yellow-rumps.

At the Tiffany Springs campground we had a mixed flock of mostly Mountain
Chickadees, a few Ruby-crowned Kinglets and one BOREAL CHICKADEE. Hooray!

Good birding,

Dan Victor, Wallingford district, Seattle ___.-////
