I spent some time exploring areas around Randle and Cispus today. I started at the Mt. Adams Veneer Mill Pond. Here I had

TURKEY VULTURE - 1
RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD
WILLOW FLYCATCHER
MARSH WREN
YELLOW WARBLER

Then I was off down Skinner Rd. I stopped at a logging road that went into an older clearcut. Looked good for Olive-sided Flycatcher, but could not find any. About a 2 mile round trip hike,I found

RED-TAILED HAWK
HAIRY WOODPECKER
WILLOW FLYCATCHER
HAMMOND'S FLYCATCHER
WARBLING VIREO
BROWN CREEPER
ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER
BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER
MacGILLIVRAY'S WARBLER
WESTERN TANAGER
BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK

I continued on stopping at Woods Creek. The birding was slow here. I had

RED-BREASTED SAPSUCKER
HAIRY WOODPECKER
HAMMOND'S FLYCATCHER
PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATHCER
WARBLING VIREO

I then headed for Iron Creek and followed the Cispus River back to Tower Rock. I was hoping for Harlequin Duck, but dipped out finding

COMMON MERGANSER
AMERICAN DIPPER
SPOTTED SANDPIPER

My last stop was at Yellow Jacket Pond. Here I had

RED-BREASTED SAPSUCKER
CHESTNUT-BACKED CHICKADEE
