Hi all -
Stumbled across a Black-necked Stilt today in Skamania County - apparently a county first.
The Stilt was hanging out in North Bonneville a small puddle/pond just west of the turn-off from SR 14 to the dam/Hamilton Island -; the pond was visible from SR 14 , but easier to park and get to from the entrance road to Hamilton Island at the Coyote Rd. road.

Otherwise, in Skamania today a couple other birds were around -; Least Sandpipers along the shore at the Stevenson Rock Creek Mill Pond - also at that spot, 6 Red-breasted Mergansers under the bridge, and 2 Greater White-fronted Geese mixed in with the much bigger-sized domestic geese.
