Hi Tweets,

Early this morning a fire started on Old Vantage Highway between Kittitas and Vantage and the Highway was closed.

The overlook interpretive center was open and at 10 am we watched the fire crest the ridge to the north. Some Sagebrush survives and others were a stark pile of white ash.

Recreation Road to the campground was closed, but from above we were able to watch a Yellow-breasted Chat singing - a surreal juxtaposition.

Good birding,
