Hi Tweets,



While out for a walk yesterday morning, I passed through the Surry Downs neighborhood in Bellevue WA, and was very pleased to see a Townsend's Solitaire perched high up on the top of a Doug Fir. Got to watch it from all sides for a while before it was chased off by an American Robin.



Some friends told me about a nesting pair of American Dippers while at Marymoor on Thursday, so drove out this morning with my two sisters to Twin Falls/Olallie State Park (I90 East, Exit 34) to watch the two parents building a nest of moss on the side of a large boulder in the middle of the river. They are so busy at it that in a very short time, unless you know it's there, lots of hikers will walk right by and never realize that the dinner-plate-sized mossy spot on the boulder is a nest.
