Hi all,

My daughter Megan and I co-led the first eastern WA chase trip today with one participant.? We left Spokane at 6am and picked up our passenger in Kennewick at 8am.? Then we were on-scene in La Grande by 10am.? We spent about a hour looking for the female Red-bellied Woodpecker and found it!? The homeowner there is very friendly and gave us tips on where to look.? It was a life bird for all 3 of us.? Such a beautiful bird!

I managed a couple decent photos:

We cannot wait until our next chase which is scheduled for January 12!? Make sure you sign up and we'll go find something great!
