Made a quick trip to the Tonasket area this weekend and saw Trumpeter Swans at
a number of locations on the way. 2 were just south of the Beebe bridge on the
Chelan side of the Columbia Saturday and another 52 were at Duley Lake on the
Colville Plateau. On the way back 4 were in a pond at the base of the big
cliff on the west side of Hwy 97 between Tonasket and Riverside. Also saw
several Northern Shrike and Rough-legged Hawks in the Aeneas Valley and
Colville Plateau. Didn't see any Snow Bunting flocks going over the Colville
Plateau but visibility was bad both days with either fog or snow flurries.
