Hi Bill et al.,

I have one additional Mountain Bluebird record for Thurston County. On
August 18, 2004, I saw an adult male in a clearcut on the Vail Tree Farm
southeast of Yelm. I only saw it that one day, so I'm uncertain if it was
an early southbound migrant or hanging around for more of the summer.

Good birding,
Matt Dufort
Seattle, WA

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
