O.K. I get it now, increasing rarity with distance from Ridgefield, rather than increasingly rare on a temporally. Sorry about the mistinterpretation.

Hi Kelly,

I made that comment, and you misunderstood it. Someone mentioned that they see them all the time at Ridgefield. My point was simply that as you go north from Ridgefield in Western Washington, they become much more difficult to find, thus Richard's find in Olympia is noteworthy even if a sighting at Ridgefield isn't. The comment was not a reference to their status and distribution in the past.

All the best,

Stephen Chase

Yeah, I just saw the comment on the Western Washington Facebook site about Yellow-headed Blackbirds becoming "increasingly rare" north of Ridgefield. What? They were more common here in the past? I've lived in Olympia my entire life and have never seen one here. I'd say, in a David Byrne kind of way…. Rare as it ever was.

Hi All,

Just saw a female Yellow-Headed Blackbird feeding on the grassy area near one of the benches at KGY Point, Olympia.

Lifer for me.
