Andrew Emlen reports a Red-eyed Vireo on Birnie Slough which
is in between Puget Island and Little Island, Wahkiakum Co., WA
from last Thursday. It didn't get to me until yesterday.

I spent the morning birding along Birnie Slough this morning.
I was unable to find any Red-eyes, but the habitat is certainly
promising. The area is very birdy, though. I was amazed at
the numbers of WESTERN WOOD-PEWEES. Also seen in impressive
numbers were WILSON'S WARBLERS and YELLOW WARBLERS.

On the Oregon side at Westport, Clatsop Co., I put in about
25 minutes while waiting for the ferry. Most notable were
two young AMERICAN DIPPERS in the small creek.

I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of inflections
Or the beauty of innuendoes,
The blackbird whistling
Or just after.
