This morning at about 10 AM our son, Brad, called from a Washington State Department of Fish & Wildlife sturgeon research boat in the Columbia River just offshore of Skamania Landing in Skamania County. He told me he just had five BRANT fly downstream past the boat for a first county record of this species. These could be early migrants heading south from the arctic breeding grounds where this year's breeding season appears to have been disrupted by unusually cool and wet weather.
