Tweeters & Inlanders



Tina and I spent the long weekend birding dawn to dusk in Southeastern
Washington. We found a number of really tough birds for the area.



Whitman County 5/29/10

. American Avocet - 1 on Sheep Lake

. Red-Necked Grebe - 1 on Rock Lake from the boat ramp

. American White Pelican - 3 on a pond off Rock Creek west of the
bridge on SR-23



Asotin County 5/30/10

. Black Tern - 1 on a farm pond at the intersection of SR-129 and
Savage Road

. Probable Green-Tailed Towhee - heard and briefly glimpsed about
200m down slope from Wenatchee Guard Station



Garfield County 6/1/10

. Grey Catbird - 1 in the trees leading to the Willow Creek HMU at
Central Ferry

. Common Yellowthroat - 1 male in the guardrail brush next to 'the
mud' at the mouth of Deadman Creek at Central Ferry

. American White Pelican - 8 off Willow Bar and 35 between Illia
Landing and Lower Granite Dam

. Wood Duck - a pair that flushed at Rice Bar and flew east. Later
saw a pair just above Lower Granite Dam. Assumed to be the same pair.



Enjoy!
