I made a non-dedicated trip from Bothell to Tonasket this weekend and
unfortunately timing and commitments limited my serious birding to a few
hours on return today. I saw a fair number of common birds, but my 2
Tweeters worthy sightings were a Rough-legged Hawk being harassed by some
ravens N Pine Creek Rd, about halfway between Tonasket to Fish Lake Rd on
the way to Conconully and an Osprey flying over the creek between Lake
Shannon and the Skagit River off WA 20 in Concrete. These are early and
late state records for me, so I liked them even though I did not get time
for all the regional birding that I had hoped for.
