Tweets,

Along Whalen Rd. just west of Woodland there were two Glaucous Gulls (a 2nd and a 3rd cycle) in a wet pasture, with many Mew Gulls and a few other large gulls. Also about 400 Sandhill Cranes closer to the Columbia R.

At Brownsmeade, no sign of an Arctic Loon (or any loons), but just across the Barendse Bridge with two pairs of Cinnamon Teal was a male hybrid Cinnamon X Blue-winged Teal. It had a pale cinnamon body and face, a grayish blue crown, and Blue-winged type speckling on the flanks. At least 2 Tree Swallows here too.

Also, at Ridgefield River S unit late afternoon, perhaps 200 Tree Swallows with a handful of Barn Swallows among them.

Good birding, Bob
