Yo Tweets,
Yesterday my son Alex and I participated in the Grays Harbor Co. CBC. We found a Palm warbler north of the Oceanspray Cranberry factory in Markham, WA. It was actively feeding on the berm located between the factory and the harbor, east of Johns River and an abandoned oyster processing plant. Access is not ideal and if anyone wants better directions, please contact me off-tweeters.

Today, I participated in the Kent-Auburn CBC by myself and had a Common redpoll in the birch trees at the north end of M Street in Auburn, the well-known (now) dead end street west of Emerald Downs racecourse. It was feeding actively with two Goldfinches. A bit later, I found a Harris's sparrow in a mixed flock of White-crowned and Golden-crowned sparrows immediately north of "Base Caf?" at W. Main and H Street in Auburn.
