Tweeters,
In my haste to post last night before fatigue hit, I forgot to mention that in the bird party was also an American Three-toed Woodpecker. Maureen Corlas also was in the area and got to see it yesterday as well. Thanks Maureen for the post today. The bird was actively drumming and working the trees along the trail at the Washington Pass Overlook. At one point it was no more than 7 feet away from the trail at eye level. This area is pretty small and this bird should be very easy to see, along with the grosbeaks. For those of you unfamiliar with the area, Washington Pass Overlook is right along highway 20 between Mazama (to the east) and Newhalem (to the west).
