Good Morning All,
Just a quick note on the arrival date of White-throated Swifts in Wallula
Gap, Umatilla Co., Oregon/Walla Walla Co.& Benton Co., WA.-This spectacular
species arrives annually over the Columbia River on or about the 17th of
MARCH. Glaucous Gulls often hang around in the Lower Columbia Basin to about
the 12 th of April, with our late date being 3 May. The Wallula Gap area is
340' above sea level and already warm by mid march with many insects already
up and flying. Hope this helps.
Later Mike
