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!
