Hi Tweets,

SAY'S PHOEBE: This past Sunday at Conboy NWR we watched a SAY'S PHOEBE
which seemed to be working its way northward along a fence line off Kreps
Lane. A likely migrant?

WESTERN MEADOWLARKS: Also of note were the Western Meadowlarks now
'serenading' from the tops of shrubs, whereas the previous weekend they were
doing their trademark calls from deep within the bushes.

DUCKS NOTED: Mallard, Wood Duck, Northern Pintail, Northern Shoveler and
American Wigeon,

LOTS OF: CANADA GEESE, [ Rocky Mtn. Elk >100 at dusk (maybe 200, they were
everywhere!)].

MISSING FROM THE LIST OF LAST WEEK: Snow Goose, Swan (sp.), Turkey

In Skamania County, we stopped at Drano Lake and the Salmon Hatchery at
Little White Salmon River and found a TOWNSEND'S SOLITARE. The assortment
of fish ducks at this location seems to be thinning out, but still a nice
Hooded Merganser pair along with the Common Mergansers.
