Hi all -
Just a quick note to confirm that the female Black-throated Blue
Warbler was still at Andy Stepniewski's house in Wapato this morning.
I arrived around 8:15 and had sporadic but plentiful looks over the
next two hours this morning. Alan Richards and Andy were there most
of the time too, and were still watching it when I left. Before the
sun came out, the warbler was mostly working low in the bushes,
gleaning from bush branches and trunks. Then, as soon as the white
gnats started flying, she moved on up into the higher canopy.


Here are directions from Andy's earlier message:
Birders are welcome! Take I-82 from Yakima east to Exit 40. Go right
2 miles to West Parker Heights. Make a left, Go 1/2 mile to Windy
Point Drive.
Left there and up the road 1/3 mile to a roiw of conifers. Shrp right
just after these trees to our home is the only house on the lane.
