I did not see them, but it would not necessarily be surprising. There are 2-4 pairs that migrate to/nest in Reifel, up near Delta, BC.

I finally found the business card of the young guide we had in the Madrid

area for a couple of days. He is young enthusiastic and very good.

Our second guide's website,

www.donanawings.com Vicent Esteller Turlo, takes his time, and just lets

you spend as much time as you need and want to watch the birds. I wish we

had spend the whole 8 days of birding with him, altho I did get the

wallcreeper that you can only find with a lot of work.

The guide we used for Barcelona and Aragon area. The first guide was just

too fast, and altho is was supposed to be a photography trip, he gave me

little time and gave only occasional, effort to help me get decent photos.

He is a guide used to counters, and runs that way, which is fine for

counters. I was too slow for him, and he was in too much of a hurry.

So anyway, several had emailed me asking for the second guide, so now you

have it.

I don't know the cost, as my friend paid for it. (not so sure we are

holds it over your head the whole time, not a good idea. )

Happy Birding,

Hi all,
>
Delia and I birded Lake Sammamish State Park today for 5 hours.? We continue to be impressed by the way State Parks is giving nature a prominent role in the landscaping of this park which is quite more beautiful and more natural than it was, say 5 or 6 years ago.? We had a great day, which we posted on ebird.
>
Black Swifts appeared overhead on two occasions, perhaps there were 9 or more, it was hard to count. There were Hirundines and Vaux's Swifts in the air also.
>
>
We came home to a declining migration presence on Butyl Creek, with only 3 warbler species taking baths this evening, Wilson's, MacGillivray's and Yellow.? (OK, I'm bragging.)
>
>
>
Best wishes,
>

Ed Newbold? non-greenbelt Beacon Hill, Seattle, WA. Butyl Creek is our backyard recirculating creek.? ednewbold1 at yahoo.com

I?m sure many of you who have birdied in SE Arizona met Mary Jo at Ash Canyon B&B where she shared many great birds, most famously the regular Lucifer Hummingbird. I met her there a number of times and always appreciated her enthusiasm and generosity.

My wife and I spent a wonderful afternoon at Ash Canyon with Mary Jo. Saw the Lucifer but mostly remember the great conversation, enjoyed her African Grey, etc. One neat aspect of her operation was a refrigerator with cold drinks. Honor system to pay for them.

Cassin's Vireo heard/sighted yesterday.? Near the north end of Barnes Rd just before the Lewis County line there is an access road running west into the DNR forest where bird was heard. Being poor at identifying birds by sound, took a chance and played a recording for a Cassin's Vireo.? Bird immediately started repeating back the recording and flew into view. Reason for guessing Cassin's Vireo - in May 2015 Russ Koppendrayer found Cassin's Vireo at this location and I re-found it a day later.? Memory of that sighting made me think wouldn't it be interesting to find the bird here again!? Only my second sighting of a Cassin's Vireo in Cowlitz county.
