Hello All,
This morning while out looking the flooded pasture over to see if the Sharp-tailed Sandpiper was still with us MerryLynn and I saw the following species:

1 Sharp-tailed Sandpiper
1 Black-bellied Plover
9 Pectoral Sandpiper
46 Long-billed Dowitchers
22 Killdeer
21 Wilsons Snipe
3 Great Blue Heron
1 Great Egret
4 Sandhill Cranes
5 Greater Yellowlegs
3 Lesser Yellowlegs
1 Northern Harrier
1 Ferruginous Hawk
45 American Pipit
200+ Barn Swallows
500+ Blackbirds
and assorted ducks.
This is a short term wet site and well worth a visit soon! Remember this site is at the corner of McDonald and Detour west of Walla Walla and just east of Lowden south of HWY 12. Good Luck! Please report what you find . Thank-you.
Later Mike
