Went to the Thaler Wetlands Trails in Belfair, WA with my digiscope 2 days ago and found a haven for barn and tree swallows. Also, right along the trail leading to the marsh, was a Red-Bellied Sapsucker only 3 feet from me! The following pictures are from the day:

Also saw, but didn't photograph, a Spotted Towhee and 2 Oregon Juncos.
