If you don't find them near Cle Elum, try the Tumwater Campground in near the W end of Tumwater Canyon, on Hwy. 2 on the E slope of the Cascades. That's a pretty reliable spot, in the undergrowth of the beautiful riparian forest there.

Subject: [Tweeters] RFI Veery in Cle Elum area


I plan to spend a couple of days in the Cle Elum/Ellensburg area, and I would particularly like to see a Veery. I plan to check Bullfrog Pond/Road, and I have also seen reports of Veery at the Teanaway River bridge, southeast of Cle Elem. I've been to that bridge before, but I didn't see any kind of trail. Do people just bird from the road, or is there a trail I missed?

I plan to visit Robinson Canyon and lower Umtanum Canyon, too, but I don't recall seeing reports of Veery at either of those places this year. Are there any other sites in that general area worth checking?

In addition to Veery, I would also like to see Olive-sided Flycatcher, Dusky Flycatcher, Hammond's Flycatcher, MacGillvray's Warbler, and Lazuli Bunting. Any information on reliable sites for any of those species this year would also be appreciated.

Thanks very much for any advice you can give me.
