We had great morning birding the Coleman/Battle Creek area. If you haven't been down there in a while the ponds next to the parking area again have water in...
It is possibly going to be a big year for White-throated Sparrows as we had one pass through our yard on Monday this week. We had the white-striped (on the...
We were just at Kutras & Turtle Bay; lots of Bufflehead and what we think was a Common Loon way across at Kutras. We spotted a pair of Hooded Mergansers at...

Hello all, Not to put too fine a point on it - we may only have one prior record of a pure Yellow-shafted Flicker for the county. That was on 10/26/2002 with...

I was at Lake McCumber briefly this afternoon. Saw a swan across the lake. Thought it might be a young Trumpeter. Walked around the lake and managed to get...
Hello all, I like the V point made by the bill up into the head feathering rather than a U shaped angle. I wonder what Ken Able and Bruce Deuel would say -...

Thanks for all the feedback. I was feeling a bit inadequate there not being able to tell a Trumpeter Swan from a Tundra and am a bit relieved to discover it's...

We birded the Clear Creek canyon and the Horse Town areas this morning. Our best birds included; a Canyon Wren, a pair of Wrentits and a very bright...
