Subject: [Tweeters] Clark County BROWN BOOBY and AMERICAN TREE SPARROW

Hi Tweeters, There is currently a BROWN BOOBY perched on the anchor chain of the ship "Adelante" visible from Blue Rock Landing which is a half mile west of Vancouver Lake in the Vancouver Lowlands, Clark County. I believe this is a first county record. It was certainly my first one and the first booby of any kind in Washington State for me. Here's the incomplete ebird list with the link to the location. https://ebird.org/checklist/S121262945 Also, local birders Greg and Tina Johnson found an AMERICAN TREE SPARROW just beyond stop 11 at River S Ridgefield NWR, Clark County this morning. This is I think a code 5 bird in Clark County. Keep your eyes and ears pointed everywhere .... you never know what you'll find! Jim
