Nancy and I canoed through the Hanford Reach Monday and Tuesday, Priest Rapids dam to Ringold, pushed along Monday by high winds. That stretch of the Columbia River is alive with birds, though they may be slightly radioactive.

Numbers of White Pellies, Great Egrets, Forster's and Caspian Terns, a gazillion Bank and Cliff Swallows, a Prairie Falcon on the White Bluffs. A total of 80 species along the river.

On our way home yesterday afternoon we made a brief stop at the County Line Ponds on SR 22 (Grant County just west of Adams County) and there was one WILLET there in alternate plumage. I don't know how unusual that might be, but there it was.
