Dear Tweeters,
One good thing about jury duty, you get to take a long lunch and stroll around the county seat. Today (27 February) I was doing that, looking for the Scrub Jays that have eluded me for a while in Skagit, and found them right in downtown Mount Vernon. They were near the corner of South Third and Blackburn. I was standing in front of the tavern (The Town Pump) near the Motor Vehicle Department when I spotted them in the top of some deciduous trees. I called Bob Kuntz and he drove down and saw them, too. The three jays were hanging around some hollies near the offices of Hoekstra and Hoekstra, CPA's, on Blackburn, just west of the railway line.
Yours truly,
Gary Bletsch
