We counted 14 Tundra Swans, 17 Am. White Pelicans, a few N.Pintail, & a Cinnamon Teal on Casey's Pond on the west side of SR12, Walla Walla Cn. 9 Bufflehead &...
I found one PINE SISKIN in Johnson Park this morning. It was in a small mixed flock of House Finches and Yellow-rumped Warblers. Pine Siskins are similar to...
We saw a GH owl in North Richland just before sundown. We sat for several minutes watching it perch in a tree and then I got out of the car to see how close...
I just got a call from the manager at Barker Ranch. Yesterday he and 2 other experienced observers saw an immature MAGNIFICENT FRIGATEBIRD. They reported...
From MerryLynn, Mike found the record from Benton county - it was an adult male observed and photographed by USFW Biologist Dan O'Neal on the 1st of July 1975...
We stopped by Two Rivers Park this morning after trying for a look at Dennis Rockwell's Harris' Sparrow which did not appear. It was quite lovely walking along...
I thought it would be worth mentioning that the ID of a frigatebird here should not be assumed, especially this time of year. These birds are known for...
Well, I didn't see any frigatebirds on the Columbia today, but there were at least 2 dozen male buffleheads looking sparklingly brilliant in the late afternoon...
These three caught my attention with a bright call (that single "heeh" space "heeh"). I'd not heard that call before. One sat in my front yard long enough...
Note - This bird was seen in August. I'm just now getting around to uploading photos from my camera. I see these guys fairly often, especially around the...
I'm getting in a late post here - Last Monday, 11-5-07, three Brown Creepers were seen in Two Rivers Park. That was a new bird for me! They are fascinating to...
After seeing Wood storks from my hospital room in Florida, and noting Peregrines amid the skyscrapers of downtown Seattle from my bed at Harborview, Kadlec...
Today, a very well-marked female Purple finch appeared at my feeder, together with lots of White-crowned sparrows, Dark-eyed juncos, one Song sparrow, and many...
I stayed home today to rest my voice which is worn out from days of coughing. I spent the morning looking at plumage and discovered a few neat things. Plumage...
Today around 7:45 am I was headed out the door to go to work and I saw a raptor land in a tree near the doctor's office across the parking lot from my condo....
This might seem like an odd sort of question, but what sort of medium sized, brownish owl with an approximate wingspan of a foot and half would be around this...
In order of likelyhood - 1) Burrowing Owl and Western Screech Owl are both reasonable possibilities, and both have wing spans a little more than you measured,...
Hi folks, We need volunteer help with shrub planting on the Hanford Reach Monument this fall and winter to rehabilitate wildfire-burned areas. The work will...
In the late 1990s, there was a substantial population of saw-whets using wood duck boxes in Hover off the end of Reik rd. I assume that species remains common...
I found two LONG-EARED OWLS in some dense Russian Olive in Johnson Park today. A single Long-eared was seen by a group of eight birders on Monday the 12th, but...
Given your location, my first guess would be Burrowing Owl. The field trip is meeting in the main parking lot at Two Rivers at 8am. I'd be happy to look over...
Since the legs are left and Dennis is willing to look, I believe that an identification can be made. Having other feathers will help support what the feet and...
Hi-- I'll be at Two Rivers tomorrow, with the bits and pieces....lol Definitely not a burrowing owl, the legs are too short and heavily feathered; I'm...
Does anyone know of areas or neighborhoods in or near Pasco that may have either a large number of spruce trees and/or birches? I am looking to find some of...
