Tweeters,

Tina and I also spent the weekend in Skamania chasing the duck and improving our county list. We found Matt's WHITE-BREASTED NUTCHATCH on Marble Road. The male TUFTED DUCK was on Drano Lake. We also had a NORTHERN PYGMY-OWL on the slopes above the lake. In addition to the MOUNTAIN BLUEBIRD on Hamilton Island, we also had 2 HORNED LARK near the boat launch. We spent most of today birding the mountains. We found a RED CROSSBILL flock at Oldman Pass. FR30 north of Curly Creek Road was very birdy. There were multiple mixed feeding flocks of the usual suspects. We found a NORTHERN GOSHAWK on FR90 near the forest boundary outside of Northwoods.

Good birding!

Rick
