Hi Murray & all:
Yes, on Thurs, mid-day we heard the Kent Least Flycatcher, but did not see it. It
called a couple of times in the tall cottonwoods. Each time it called che-bek for
about 5 minutes. The wind was blowing the cottonwoods, and the trucks were roaring
on the nearby valley freeway, so it was hard to hear the birds. You folks had
mentioned the insect hatch down there on the Green River, and when I walked out we
had a real show of Tree, V-g, Barn, and Cliff Swallows, plus several Vaux's Swifts
swooping around us almost at eye level. Several Bullock's Orioles were seen.
Today, Saturday, at mid-day we could not hear the Least Flycatcher. But there were 4
to 6 adult Bullock's Orioles which would fly quickly up from the river and into the
woods. It looked like they were bathing and preening in the warm weather. We saw a
Warbling Vireo, and heard a Western Wood-Pewee there in the cottonwoods. Many thanks
to Kathy A for finding this spot which was new to me.
Early this Sat morning, June 27 at 1:30am, I heard a Western Screech-Owl trill just
once right outside the bedroom window.
Yours, Carol Schulz

This is to Carol Schulz--I've lost your address and would like to know if
you found the Least Flycatcher in Kent? (Apologies to Tweeters .. . . )
