Somehow missed a bat walk that was supposed to happen tonight but a walk
through one of my favorite refuges was not a bad plan B.
Saw:
Northern Harrier
Purple Martins harassing the Harrier who was continuously circling their
gourd apartment complex
Tree swallows
Kestral
Common Yellowthroats all over the place
Robins all over the place
Great Blue Heron
Red Winged Blackbirds
American Goldfinch
Missed the Lazuli Buntings which I had seen in previous years and has been
seen by others this year
A good consolation was a Bullock's Oriole in the tall Cottonwoods by the
Columbia River
Another fun thing was coming across a Painted Turtle excavating a nest by
the trail.
