The YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER is persisting at Hood Park in Walla Walla Co
WA. First seen on 19 Feb, it was still reported as of 6 March. It's in the
small stand of pines. Hood Park is located at the jct of US 12 and WA 124,
in northwest Walla Walla Co just southeast of Pasco. WA DeLorme 39, C-8.

Doug Schonewald reports a single SWAMP SPARROW in Douglas Co WA on 29 Feb.
The bird was north of the junction of WA 262 and Frenchman Hills Road along

In northwestern Whitman Co WA on 6 Mar, Tom and Diane Weber found 40
TRUMPETER SWANS at Crooked Knee Lake. The lake is along WA 23 just a couple

EURASIAN WIGEONS are making their usual March flight through the region.
Drakes were reported in Lewiston ID, Clarkston WA, Potholes Reservoir WA,
