Today, Bill Tweit and Whitter Johnson refound a Harris Sparrow that was orginally found on the Satsop Christmas count by Tom Schooley. Their directions are as follows.
Take Keys Road south off of Hwy. 12 at Satsop Turn east on Wenzel Slough Road.Go east a half mile. At the first big farm on the south side of the road are some sludge ponds. The Harris Sparrow was seen at this area. They also had some Snow Geese in the fields off Hwy. 12 just past Elma.
Today, I had two White-throated Sparrows at bird feeder off of Mounts Road near Nisqually NWR. Take the Mounts Rd. exit and head west past the golf course. The first road that goes left is called Eastway or something like that. Go to the end of road at a turn around and there are many sparrows etc. coming to several feeders. Park and enjoy from the car.
Happy birding New Year!
