Hi all -
The female Black-throated Blue Warbler is still at Andy Stepniewski's house
in Wapato this morning (10/20).Best seen in the morning beetween 9 and
Noon. When the shrubbery is shaded, the warbler is mostly working low in the
bushes, gleaning from bush branches and trunks. Then, as soon as the white
gnats
started flying, the warbler moves 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 which is the only house on the lane. Check the shrubbery to the west of
the driveway 25 feet in front of the short flight of steps. Most often seen
in
sumac, lilacs, a Red Oak, and a near leafless small walnut tree.
