I started this morning looking for the Glaucous Gull Ryan Merrill reported and found it in a field south of Chilberg Road and North of Dodge Valley. The Gull was really close to the road so I got some great looks at it. I also found a Thayer's Gull in the same flock. Later in the day I was driving west on Bow Hill Road, before crossing Chuckanut Drive, I saw a Prarie Falcon in the top of a tree on the west side of the road. Other highlights from the day included:

Red-shouldered Hawk still on Valley Road

50+ Violet-green Swallows on Landing Road

1 Hermit Thrush, 1 White-throated Sparrow, 1 Orange-crowned Warbler, and a Merlin all at the game range

1 Barn Swallow on Rawlins Road
