Hello All,

While returning home yesterday (3 Dec. 2010) from Suncadia and three days of meetings I observed the following species:

Bufflehead-66 birds at Vantage boat launch.
Common Goldeneye-45 birds at the Vantage boat launch
Common Loon-2 birds at Vantage boat launch
Horned Grebe-17 birds at Vantage Boat Launch
SURF SCOTER-1 sub-adult male at the Vantage Boat Launch
Long-Billed Dowitchers-7 birds at the jct. of SR 240 and Hwy 26 at mouth of small stream flowing in under the SR 240 culvert. Seemed late to have this species still in Grant Co..
Merlin-1 bird south of Sentinal Gap near Mattawa.
That is it for now.
Later Mike Denny
