Hi, this is Steven Mlodinow. Walked the Skagit Game Range headquarters
area today. On the other dike, the one accessed from the boat launch,
about a quarter mile down the trail, we had a NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH
calling loudly; came in after awhile to pishing and Screech Owl
imitations. After the trail gets into a situation where you can see over
the marsh to your left with some scattered bushes out in the marsh, we
had an ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHER at the top of one of the bushes. Also had
a BULLOCK'S ORIOLE, which was somewhat late for the west side, and a
CHESTNUT-BACKED CHICKADEE, a bird I see rather infrequently in this
area, suggesting some movement. That's it. Good luck and good birding.
