Hi All,
Anne Kahle and stayed over after the fine "Footsteps of Townsend" WOS trip
to bird the Franklin County side of the Snake River on Sunday morning.Some
highlights included a Sharp-shinned Hawk patrolling the roadside on the way
into Big Flat HMU. Our walk through Big Flat we restricted to the roadway
due to the presence of upland bird hunters;we still saw lots of birds
incuding Townsend's Solitaire(in keeping with Saturday's theme),Northern
Shrike and 2 WINTER WRENS(One seen well-one heard only).Windust Park was
quiet but we did manage to find a Great Horned Owl and a Sharp-shinned
Hawk.Lyon's Ferry was also quiet but we managed probably our best bird of
the day-a RED-NECKED GREBE graced lagoon just inside the boom.We then
crossed the Snake River and followed Lyon's Ferry Road into WallaWalla
County where we had 13 Rough-legged Hawks and a Prairie Falcon in the first
3 or 4 miles.
Good birding,
Russ Koppendrayer
Longview,Wa
