Hello Tweeters,

I have been trying to post this message on Tweeters since
Sunday, but I've been having trouble with my email. Comcast wouldn't send
the message, so I tried my Yahoo account, but forgot, I'm not a Tweeter user
on Yahoo. My head is hurting from all this, so I will try again. I have
also tried from the Yahoo account, so if this turns up twice, my apologies.
Charlotte

Hello Tweeters,

Last week nearly 400 of you took the trouble to look at
photos I posted from Harts Pass showing what turned out to be a Cooper's
Hawk. Our trip to the Winthrop area continued in that vein. We had
spectacular weather, but saw only easy-to-spot birds. Nonetheless, since we
won't be going anywhere on an airplane for a long time yet, I put together a
Flickr album of photos from this small foray to eastern Washington. It
includes shots of the scenery where we saw the birds- the Washington Pass
overlook on the North Cascades Highway, Harts Pass and Meadow Campground,
the Loup Loup horse campsite (thanks to Greg Harrington for pointing this
out to us), and the area right around Sun Mountain Lodge. Also many thanks
to Laura Brou and Jon Houghton, who gave us directions on places to look for
our target birds. The fact that we didn't find many of those birds probably
was due to the time of year we went to hunt.

By the way if any of you still need to see Dusky Grouse,
they live on the grounds of Sun Mountain Lodge. They are a slam dunk to
see, especially in the morning as they wander around placidly. Also we took
pictures of a bunny that we kept seeing on the Beaver Pond trail near Sun
Mountain Lodge. It turned out to be a Snowshoe Hare. They still have white
hind feet even in the summer. Who knew?

You can see these Washington state birds and a few mammals
