Michael Hobbs led a trip in Kittitas County
Eight of us birded from Hyak to Vantage. In Hyak we had Band-tailed Pigeons and Evening Grosbeaks in the trees across from Traveler's Rest. A Varied Thrush called from near the Chevron station. The former Trend West properties near Roslyn yielded Williamson's Sapsucker, Mountain Chickadee, and Red Crossbill.
Elk Heights featured Mountain and Western Bluebirds, Townsend's Solitaire, and Cassin's Finch. Durr Rd. had more more bluebirds plus great looks and listens at Brewer's Sparrow and Vesper's Sparrow. We found a Great Horned Owl in a crevice at milepost 22 on the Old Vantage Hwy east of Ellensburg. Also there were Say's Phoebe and Rock Wren. Tower Rd. (off Old Vantage Hwy) had both Sage Thrasher and Sage Sparrow. We finished up at Huntzinger Rd. near the Wanapum Dam, where our best birds were Common Loon, Common Goldeneye, Horned Grebe, Eared Grebe, and 2 American White Pelican. |
