Tweets,

Very sorry for the late post, I am only now getting home. I was on vacation
in the Grand Coulee where cell reception is poor or non-existent. Barb and I
had a BELL'S VIREO at Sun Lakes State Park late yesterday morning. The bird
was very cooperative and sat in the open for nearly a minute at close range
allowing great views and study. The bird was located in the day use area and
was working the low brush along the lakeshore. It appeared to be of the
'Eastern' race and was fairly brightly coloured. I realize that the chances
it is still there are remote, but it may be worth a try as the park was
extremely birdy and high winds in the coulee may shut down some migration.

Cheers
