Greetings All,
I guess I'm a little slow on the uptake. Keith caught me napping.
Regarding the occurrence of Mountain Bluebirds in Thurston County. This is
indeed an uncommon, dare I say rare occurrence. In the past 10 years + I
only have information on 3 records for the county including this current one
(I'm thinking there is a 4th I'm forgetting about). All were spring
migrants and all are from the prairie areas of South County. They all
involved adult males and include a bird at Rock Prairie (date uncertain,
Patrick Sullivan), one at Glacial Heritage Prairie (4/27/01, Shelmerdine),
and the bird at Mima Mounds (R Mraz). A very nice find Rick!
Anyone have any other records? I'm compiling By the way, there are no CBC
records for the county.
Cheers and good birding
Bill Shelmerdine
