Ruth,
Rod Crawford at the Burke Museum is our local expert. You can see some
great information from him through
http://www.washington.edu/burkemuseum/collections/arachnology/index.php
Take a look at his information about identification at the end of the
description of the state checklist. I think I'll stick with birds.

Great photos of the Odonates. It's good to know that the olive
clubtails are still there.

Hello Tweets,

We show some of my photos what I took on our last trip.We was searching
at Horn Rapids for the Olive Clubtail. After three hours in high heat
we finally found one of the kind of rare Dragonflies.In the mean time I
found something what I never looked at so attractive Spiders.I could not
resist taken some photos.The dilemma is even so we got two Spider books,
we still did not ID theme.It would be very helpful if any of you birders
know also spiders.I also photographed the Side -blotched Lizards which
are common in that area.
There is always more to learn about our nature .As you can se we did not
found any rarities on birds,but many nice and unexpected in the area
where we visiting.As you see the town at Washtucna have a new Sign put
up ,that this is a area what got a lot of birds.This people are bird
friendly and welcome birders,and please stop by the new store what
makes some good cold drinks and good coffee.You also can find items what
you forgot,since there is nothing around to you get to Othello. The
photos can be viewed at the following address:
