Charlie Wright and I birded from Vantage to the Walla Walla River
Delta on Tuesday. On Wednesday we met up with Tom Aversa and Brad
Waggoner to cover Washtucna, Palouse Falls, and Lyons Ferry (with
Michael Woodruff). Today we birded around Sprague Lake and Potholes
Reservoir. Highlights from the three days include three Sabine's
Gulls, a Parasitic Jaeger, an Arctic Tern, two Black Swifts, a
Tennessee Warbler and three Black-throated Gray Warblers. Also around
10 Nashville Warblers which seemed like a decent amount for these
dates, and Slate-colored Fox Sparrows at several locations.
