I was able to take a few short trips over the weekend. The following
highlights were observed.
3/1
Wanapum Dam:
The Yellow-billed Loon persists in the tailrace
A Say's Phoebe was perched in the tree just below the visitors center
Potholes State Park:
An immature Cooper's Hawk being mobbed by a group of magpies. The magpies
definitely kept their distance too.
A single Red-necked Grebe worked around the boat launch.
Lind Coulee:
Three American Tree Sparrows responded well to pishing and offered good
views.
Penn Plaza Overview (Moses Lake):
A large group of Dunlin (67) foraged on the mud bar
3/2
Road 6 SE WDFW Public Access (south of Moses Lake):
Greater White-fronted Goose - 4 in a large group of feeding Canada Geese.
Two Short-eared Owls were roosting low in the Russian Olives
