Tweets - I'm down in Skamania scouting for my WOS trip that happens 2 weeks
from now. I spent today trying to cover SW Skamania county.

Highlights included the warblers:

Orange-crowned Everywhere
Nashville Marsh above Stevenson
Yellow-rumped Only 1, on Washougal River Rd.
Yellow Only 1, on Marble Rd.
Black-throated Gray Only a few
Townsend's Everywhere
MacGillivray's 2 on Smith Cripe Rd.
Wilson's Warbler Everywhere in abundance
YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT on Marble Rd. singing

I also had a DUSKY FLYCATCHER calling, several HAMMOND'S FLYCATCHERS, and a
NORTHERN PYGMY-OWL from Smith Cripe Rd.

There were several LAZULI BUNTING on Marble Rd., in both Skamania and Clark
counties. I also had a couple of MOURNING DOVES on Marble Rd.

WARBLING VIREOS were very common, and I repeatedly had flocks - yes flocks -
of WESTERN TANAGER. I had CASSIN'S VIREO at several sites.

The other good bird I had was a GREEN HERON on Washougal River Rd. at a new
beaver pond.
