Hello,
Steve Mlodinow, Randy Hill and I birded the Wanapum/Priest Rapids/Lower Crab Creek/ Para Pond Area.
Highlights. Lots of Pintails as they move through the area. a white-throated sparrow at Priest Rapids WMA ( at the boat ramp) It was cold and foggy at times. Although we could not find tricolored blackbirds at Para's feed lot on Friday, Saturday produce a minimum of 12. We looked for the blue jay on Sundance Rd with no luck. Talking with a resident he said the bird shows up at his feeder (front yard) at 7:30 am almost every day.
Pasted below are my notes for the day. Good Birding.
